Hobiennale 2019
FELTspace was around to take FELTfood to the Eastern Shore of Hobart the 2019 Hobiennale.
The Biannual arts event brings together 21 artist-run initiatives (ARIs) and 100 emerging artists for ten days of diverse exhibitions, music, performances and talks from across Australia and New Zealand.
FELTspace was proud to present this one-night only event exploring the potential of food as an artistic medium. Part performance art, part multisensory installation, part participatory dinner party, this event focused on exploring the creative possibilities of edible materials as a response to contemporary fetishized food culture. FELTfood is part of an accessible program that creatively encourages non-arts audiences to engage with contemporary art. In this event, the audience is invited to engage through multisensory dimensions such as smell, touch and by literally eating the work.
