faire le lunch – making lunch

Work ID: 14829

Description: Kathleen Sellars' new work continues her interest in genetic technologies and the social construction of gender. faire le lunch - making lunch is a performative installation that traces the evolution of food production, from seed to packaged commodity, within the context of a kitchen/ lab /studio environment. Growing plants, bottled food, toys, cast vegetables and appropriated images from advertising are used to explore the corporate and cultural production of food. Through strategies of exposure; juxtaposing binaries such as rational/emotional, vegetable/animal, corporate/personal, domestic/public and frivolous/useful; this installation questions the ethics of transgenetic manipulation, our relationship to nature and the authority of various food processors as active producers of knowledge.
