Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw Turkey Pot Pie Special Only at Marie Callender's (The Last Supper) 2018
ceramics and mixed media 3.5 x 51.5 x 6.5 inches (9 x 131 x 16.5 cm)
This piece re-imagines the real-life last meal of the cult Heaven's Gate, of whose 39
members ordered the identical meal of Turkey Pot Pie, side salad, and iced tea with lemon
at the chain restaurant Marie Calendars as a last meal before committing group suicide.
The last supper has always been a richly loaded meal used throughout history to
memorialize important events, and this piece marks the occasion of the religious cult's last
meal, before their death/desired ascension, in an American chain restaurant.
