The result was an exhibition this past week in Projectspace. We're all thrilled at how it went. The opening night was a hit, and the feedback during the week has been fantastic.
Attached is the list of works, and images

Bought to you by Farro Fresh
fruit
and vegetables. wooden bowl
Every night the show is running
for, the artist will go and collect fruit and vegetables that Farro Fresh supermarket
has thrown into their bins and will add them to this fruit bowl.
Participants are invited to take
whatever food they may want from this bowl and the following morning it will be
replenished by the artist.
*Food has been washed in hot
soapy water and then rinsed and dried with a clean towel. All food was thrown
out in a fresh produce bag and therefore hasn’t been contaminated with meat or
dairy, only other fruits and veg.

Golden mornings

I am interested in
the routine of the everyday, where the body has marked
an object in passing. Casting has become a tool in which allows me to
record these impacts of the body on domesticated objects. By casting an
object you ensure that the form will forever continue to exist, therefore all
fleeting traces and imprints are caught in time or in a moment, capturing
the memory of its mould. I find that this impermanence is fitting, especially in
the case for something like food, as it eventually gets eaten, melts, or rots
away. Casting for me has been a way of obtaining something that we
naturally could not.

I am not advocating Survival Tabs
as a survival food replacement. They consist of mostly malt and
milk. There are better
alternatives.

The people on board the Star-Arc
did not eat food as we know it. They swallowed synthetic food tabs 6 times a
day that contained all the nutrients their bodies needed. As well as a chewing
gum to mimic the necessary masticating benefits of chewing food. They also
daily swallow a synthetic fibre substance device made predominantly of
self-lubricating Polycaprolactone in the form of a small ball, to massage the
internal gastoentalogical systems. This is excreted daily, sanitised, re-filled
with synthetic fibre and re-used. The socialisation of meal time was no longer
an activity that Homosapians henceforth partook of. All the people on board
were lean and toned.
Adapting to the food tabs was
difficult for the 1st Generation. They all understood the necessity but they
missed nothing as much as the missed the comfort of the sustenance of Earth
food.
