The Tin Sheds Gallery will be transformed into a spatial laboratory inspired by food production and referencing Roman Emperor Nero Germanicus’ Golden Banquet Room that rotated to imitate the earth's daily movement.
Aperitif - Act 1, 2022. Timber artwork by Marissa Lindquist.
Handcrafted analogue machines will be installed at stations throughout the space, resembling courses of a meal from the hors oeuvre to desert. Accompanied by detailed architectural drawings, each machine will be extracted from fictional moments in film and literature that bring to life the mechanical nature of food production and its representation. The exhibition will be crafted around an immersive dining assemblage that will create a backdrop for events and collaborations across the duration of the show.
Exhibitors: Marissa Lindquist and Michael Chapman with Imogen Sage, Robyn Schmidt, Timothy Burke, Peter Fisher, Derren Lowe
Assistants: Jackson Voorby, Lexi Le Owen, James Dwyer, Aaron Crowe, Na Li, Guiherme Nettoalvesdosreis, Simon Hewitt, Paul Ridings
