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.
