Nabilah Nordin
Please Do Not Eat The Sculptures is a social gathering that brings together food, art and people.
Moving from the studio to the kitchen and back again, Nabilah Nordin brings her enduring fascination with texture, colour and form to a new series of works that sit somewhere between the abject and the delicious. Oozing gloops of icing and towers of toast meet enormous strings of spaghetti and wonky plastered structures. The hallmarks of Nordin’s practice – visceral curves, playful and naive mark-making, and impossibly exaggerated forms are intertwined with entrees, mains and desserts. Food serves as a new frontier for Nordin’s ongoing celebration of the sensuous qualities of the tactile and the endless possibilities of material invention.
The exhibition questions how both art and food work a type of “social magic” – they both bring people together and stimulate discussion, they lubricate social interactions and catalyse celebration, humour, and collaboration. Together with curator and friend, Sophie Prince, Nordin will explore the makings and boundaries of communities through the union of food and art.
Join us for Please Do Not Eat The Sculptures on the 8 May from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
Dates: 8 May 2021. See Menu
