Jan. 15 A Recipe for Disaster, Carolyn Lazard, 2018, 29:00

"A Recipe for Disaster" (video, 29 minutes, 2018), uses the first programme shown with captions on US television in 1972, a cookery show, The French Chef, to compose a wider study on the terms of media accessibility, casting a profound critique of inclusion as add-on or afterthought.

Carolyn Lieba Francois Lazard (1987) is an American artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lazard uses the experience of chronic illness to examine concepts of intimacy and the labour of living involved with chronic illnesses. Lazard expresses their ideas through a variety of mediums including performance, filmmaking, sculpture, writing, photography, and sound; as well as environments and installations. Lazard is a 2019 Pew Foundation Fellow and one of the first recipients of The Ford Foundation's 2020 Disability Futures Fellows Awards. In 2023, they were awarded the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, often referred to as the "genius grant."
