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.

ARTISTS Sean Cordeiro & Claire Healy. The artists are represented by Gallery Barry Keldoulis.
