Dinner with a famous artist might sound deeply mundane, but there is far more to this story.

Abramovic, 69, is a fairly famous Serbian performance artist, who now lives in New York.
In an email dated June 28, 2015, Abramovic wrote:

"Dear Tony, I am so looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place. Do you think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining?

All my love, Marina"

Tony then forwarded the email to his brother, John, asking:

"Are you in NYC Thursday July 9

Marina wants you to come to dinner Mary?"

While this seems like a completely normal and uninspiring email, a look at what "spirit cooking" is, changes things immediately.
