Exhibition period: 1 September - 8 October 2022

Venue: Tin Sheds Gallery, 148 City Rd, Darlington NSW 2008

Opening night performance: The Last Octopus Tentacle (Imogen Sage and Ayesha Tansey)

What happens when the last octopus tentacle has been eaten, and all that is left is the fantasy of consumption? Streamed from the Tin Sheds Gallery this immersive broadcasted experience examines the scarcity and excess of eating. Violence, perversion and hedonism in 2022.

Banquet

Artists: Marissa Lindquist, Michael Chapman, Timothy Burke, Derren Lowe, Imogen Sage and Robyn Schmidt

Curated by Marissa Lindquist & Michael Chapman

Banquet will reimagine Tin Sheds as a conceptual banquet hall, interrogating rituals of food  and its relationship to architectural production. Drawing from fragments in literary and film fiction, the exhibition explores the relationship between space, the human condition and the experience of consumption through the construction of a transhistorical degustation of interactive food machines.
