About the work

Grace Blake is curating an exhibition titled “Palate Cleanser,” opening on the 30th of September at Such and Such. The show features work by local artists Jacqueline Bradley, Shaun Hayes, and Katie-Ann Houghton, alongside regional NSW artist Tully Moore, celebrating produce. Each artist responds uniquely to the contemporary experience of food: Hayes’ kitsch-pomo casting of food packaging, Bradley’s bronze-cast homage to everything but the flesh—pips, skins, and trays—Moore’s “Surf Turf and Veg”series reimagining the modern menu, and Houghton bringing elegance to the functional vessel. The exhibition will open with a kitchen takeover by Manzé Melbourn, a Mauritian-style food establishment run by Canberra’s own Nagesh Seethiah. This extra special dinner will only be available from the 30th of September – the 1st of October.
