The Judy Chicago Dinner Party Power Station

"The Dinner Party is an installation created by artist Judy Chicago depicting place settings for 39 mythical and historical famous women. It was produced from 1974 to 1979. Subsequently, it toured to 16 venues in 6 countries on 3 continents to a viewing audience of 15 million. Since 2007 it has been on permanent exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, New York."

At the heart of the Dinner Party are the actual ceramic plates, each of which depicts the vagina of its famous ascribed owner.

The idea is to take the precious plates and transfer each of them to the top of a series of long poles, where they will be spun, and remain balanced for as long as the necessary refreshing motion is provided by human intervention. (just as in the well known stage version of the spinning plates trick - see link)

Instead of simply viewing the work, continuous lines of volunteers, who will pay for the privilege, will queue up to take their turn at lovingly agitating all the poles in order to preserve the motion of the plates.

As well as providing the energy to prevent the plate's rotations from ever decaying, the volunteers are delivering a type of continuous motion, suitable as a human powered energy source. This happens because a portion of each of the pole's vibration energy is harvested and delivered via generators to an electricity supply circuit.

Once activated, the never ending appreciation society devoted to the work of Judy Chicago will ensure that none of the priceless plates ever ever falters or falls.

In time, a large array of identical, replica Judy Chicago Dinner Party Spinning Plate Stations will be constructed, with sufficient size to warrant description as that of a Power Station, as enough resulting energy will be manufactured to enter the mains electricity grid.
