Sheffield artist Pete McKee to make 400 crisp butties at museum
An artist has pledged to make and serve 400 crisp butties in one afternoon as part of his latest exhibition in his home Mckee said he would serve up his childhood favourite for free at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield from midday on Saturday on a first-come, first-served performance art event follows the launch of his year-long exhibition The Boy with the Leg Named Brian, which pays tribute to his 1970s McKee said: "This event is my playful take on the world of performance art that can sometimes leave unfamiliar audiences feeling baffled and undernourished."
Mr McKee, who is known for his colourful depictions of everyday life in South Yorkshire, said he would offer up 10 different flavours of crisp butty, including his own favourite of salt and his website, the event has been described as a "celebration of a humble northern dish, well-deserving of icon status, performed by an equally northern artist". He added: "For this one-off event, 400 visitors will be given one of my handmade butties to eat. "I hope you will join me in celebrating one of my favourite dishes as a child, and share in the positive experience of communal eating."
