Common Sense
Five hours of chocolate sculpture, touchable art and artisan gelato. This is a multisensory affair.
Overview
Art exhibitions are usually a highly visual experience. Everything is white and sterile, and if you touch anything a large middle-aged man is always nearby to tap you on the shoulder and give you a foreboding paternal gaze. But not all exhibitions are created equal these days, and the exciting folk at 1000 £ Bend don't want anything to do with the white cube. Fittingly, their latest one-day exhibition is bound to deliver a sensory overload of sights, smells, sounds and chocolate sculptures.
Featuring 16 artists from Australia and abroad, this group exhibition is the first time Sydney curators Affectors have brought a show down south. "Our events encourage curiosity and play, both within the audience and the artists who participate in the show," says co-curator Zoe Edema. From 1pm-6pm on June 20, this sense of play will be translated through the mediums of sculpture, film, painting, music and gelato. Yes, that's right — gelato.
Head down to 1000 £ Bend to start tasting the art.
