Registrations are required, click here to book your ticket to the artist talk.
GALLERY OPENING DAYS + HOURS
Kitchen Studio can be experienced as an exhibition (Free entry, no registration required) at the following times:
10am – 5pm Monday – Friday | 10am – 12pm Saturdays in September
10am – 4pm Saturdays in October
(Please note, the Gallery is closed on Sundays and Public Holidays)
Kitchen Studio is a place where sculpture, food and ideas are interchangeable and digestible. The rules of hospitality will be broken, and nourishment redefined.
During the day, Kitchen Studio opens its doors to those who are curious to explore the sculptural dining room. And when the sun sets, the artist steps into the kitchen to host a provocative sensory journey for an intimate group of guests.
Partaking in Kitchen Studio is an invitation to play within the realm of gastronomy as you make your way through a series of conceptually driven courses.
Artist Elizabeth Willing’s large-scale installation encourages guests to form new perspectives on the modern diet by exploring, engaging, and experiencing edible materials.
“Kitchen Studio is a project that I have wanted to create for over a decade, and I am delighted to be able to produce it on home ground. This is my most ambitious creative project to date, and I feel confident it will allow me to open up exciting new facets in my work, and in the space of food design and experimental eating.” – Elizabeth Willing
