Sean Cordeiro
& Claire Healy
Primary Producers
You're invited to join
Sean Cordeiro and Claire Healy in the making
of their new sculptural work Primary Producers
by attending a picnic to shuck and eat oysters.
The discarded oyster shells
will be collected and transformed into a
sculptural installation referencing Aboriginal
middens that were pilfered for their high
lime content and used in the mortar of colonial
Australia. Primary Producers is part installation,
part site-specific action, drawing attention
to the foundations of contemporary Sydney.
Primary Producers is the
first in a suite of site-responsive installations
curated by Sally Breen and commissioned
by Performance Space.
To be launched by Elizabeth
Ann Macgregor, Director, Museum of Contemporary
Art, Sydney.
