What on Earth are we Eating? curated by Ebony Secombe, is an
exhibition that provides a platform
for discourse pertaining to, and around,
the relationships we have with food. The ways in which we relate to
what we
eat, what others eat, how we eat and who we eat with expose some of the inner
most layers of the
human condition.
11 contemporary artists have made work for this exhibition, including
drawings, paintings, video art,
photography, performance art and sculpture.
Notions and issues of health, mass (over or under)
consumption, biotechnologies & genetical engineering,
sustainability and
environmental/ecological concerns, as well as examining how food is used as a
vessel for
human interaction in contemporary society, are just some of the
topics that are up for discussion in this exhibition.
As part of this exhibition ATVP is hosting a series of
intimate dinner parties (What on Earth are we eating
tonight?). Each dinner party
will host 8 guests, who will contribute $10 to the evening, and the selected
chefs
for each evening will create a 3-course meal with a budget of $80. Each
dinner party will be documented
where cooks and guests will be given the
opportunity to discuss the exhibition, artworks and its themes in a
friendly conversational environment. To book your spot at a dinner party contact ATVP
via email at
info@atthevanishingpoint.com.au
Join us at the
opening launch of What on Earth are we eating?, Thursday 9 May 6-9pm
and at an Artist
Talks session, Saturday 18 May 2-4pm.
