The Last Supper
29th January -22nd February 2020
​​
During January and February we're doing things a little differently at AIR with two exhibitions that are 'Works in Progress'. Both shows will alter and change over the course of 4 weeks and result in a closing event with live performances, workshops and demonstrations.
​
Gallery One: The Last Supper
Gather around the dining table of 2050 and experience dining in a post-climate-breakdown world. We invite you to interact with the exhibits to explore how might we harvest, prepare, nourish, consume and enjoy food in an environment in which mass extinction and climate change has devastated the food chain.
The dining table will be the platform for our research and interactions over the exhibition period. Over time the table will begin to tell a story through hand made objects, utensils, satirical graphics, food stuffs and tonics that explore how the dining experience might look, feel, taste and smell as a result of climate change.
