Dessert III. Spiro Grace, Brisbane, 2015

Dessert III

Commissioned by Spiro Grace for exhibition Between Courses

10 December 2015. 1 performance.

Food and design by Elizabeth Willing.

A significant part of my practice is working within the context of dining, concept meals. This branch of performance within my practice allows me to bring together audience and artwork at the dining table to further explore the potential of individual interactions with artworks, and to continue my explorations of food as art material, the potential for multi-sensory engagement, and our complex relationships to eating. Concept meals are also a space for me to present new sculpture and design elements created to reconsider the choreography of eating.

I purposely limit the documentation at these meals to ensure the comfort, and to limit any distractions, for the participants.
