Elizabeth Willing: Between Courses

Overview

Food, glorious food — it's more than just the cry of the orphans from Oliver! It's also the way almost everyone feels about our energy supply, but how many of us have thought about source of sustenance further?

Elizabeth Willing has, with her artistic practice examining gastronomy and the collective experience of eating. In Between Courses, she continues her fascination with the accessibility and all-encompassing nature of food, not only exploring the tools and objects commonly associated dining, but deconstructing and reassembling them to give these implements a new logic and purpose.

And, if the free exhibition is an all-you-can-eat buffet of contemplating cuisine, then the one-night-only event that is Dessert III is its centrepiece. Attendees will take part in an intimate participatory artwork of degustation desserts set at the dining table. You'll subtly reposition your physical and psychological relationship to what you're consuming, but be warned – you'll also need to have a spare $380 for the experience.
