During Condimentalism viewers are given free kosher hot dogs from an outdoor electric train. The train loops inside the gallery and along the sidewalk, allowing easy access to free hot dogs and condiments. Hot dogs, donated by Hebrew National, nourish and create community. Themes addressed are the frontier and the West, academia, Judaism, prayer, accessibility, and absurdity. A soundtrack plays in the gallery and from the train, inviting passers-by to take one hot dog, free hot dog, take one with relish.
