Description: Mouthfeel
Feb 15 - March 9, 2018
Five video artworks exploring the sense of taste and touch curated by Megan Fizell, Sydney, Australia.
Mouthfeel is defined as the physical sensations in the mouth created by food or drink. The objective of this exhibition is to stimulate a synaesthetic response in the viewer through the observation of these films. The mouth is used by these artists to trigger the sense of taste and touch by the ingestion of edible and non-edible substances. The videos feature a variety of actions, from the monotonous task of licking through a pane of cast sugar, to ingesting a bouquet of roses.
The five films selected for this exhibition by curator Megan Fizell include performative actions by four female artists and one male/female collaborative work: Elizabeth Willing, Hannah Raisin, Martynka Wawzyniak, Nina Ross, and Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Mouthfeel has previously been viewed at Brenda May Gallery in Sydney, Creative Industries Precinct at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and Northern Centre for Contemporary Art in Darwin (all in Australia).
