Raise a glass to Dionysus at our bacchanal-themed wine party and local chefs’ tasting reception at SFMOMA on March 17.

WHAT
Food & Thought at SFMOMA with Meatpaper and Blue Bottle

Bacchanal: Bay Area chefs present tasting plates on the theme of bacchanalia, in celebration of the “How Wine Became Modern” show at SFMOMA. Also in keeping with the bacchanal theme: Locally produced wine and beer!

After the bacchanal, our friends at Pop-Up Magazine present a very wine-themed “Sidebar” — a live event in the atrium showcasing writers, filmmakers, photographers and public radio producers.

Braised pork shoulder with sauerkraut, dried cherries, mushrooms, and chilis, served over grilled tartine bread

MORE ABOUT SFMOMA: NOW PLAYING
SFMOMA: Now Playing invites artists to animate SFMOMA in unexpected ways — and audiences to see the museum in a different light. Partygoers will experience the atrium as a projection chamber, a hidden annex as a bar/lounge, and artists playing the architecture. The evenings also include hors d'oeuvres and cash bar.

SFMOMA: Now Playing
Thursday, March 17, 6-9:45 pm

6:00–8:00 p.m. Food & Thought with Meatpaper and Blue Bottle at the SFMOMA rooftop café
6:30 p.m. Curator talk
7:00 p.m. Screening: Dionysus in 69 (Brian De Palma, 1970)
9:00 p.m. Pop-Up Magazine presents Sidebar: Wine!

Pop-Up Magazine is unlike any other magazine. It won't arrive in your mailbox, and you can't buy it from a newsstand or read it online. Why? Because each issue is a live performance, created for the stage and presented to an audience in real time. Pop-Up showcases writers, documentary filmmakers, photographers, and radio producers — contributors to The New Yorker, This American Life, The New York Times Magazine, NPR's All Things Considered, and Wired — plus Oscar-winning filmmakers, best-selling authors, and acclaimed artists whose stories and ideas unfold like a magazine, without the paper.

Tonight, Pop-Up debuts a new between-issues format: Sidebar. With SFMOMA's exhibition How Wine Became Modern: Design + Wine 1976 to Now in mind, Pop-Up's first Sidebar tackles the culture, science, history, politics, and humor surrounding our favorite drink. This Now Playing program also nods to the Wine exhibition with a rare screening of Brian De Palma's first film Dionysus in 69, a split-screen record of Richard Schechner's landmark restaging of The Bacchae with the experimental Performance Group, and Meatpaper magazine leads a Bacchanal themed "Food & Thought" event in the Rooftop Garden.
