Olde Food
22 April 2018 - 02 June 2018
'The exhibition is glutted with content, but all the bodies are phantom limbs, present but also absent; like the white noise it emits at the entrance, the show contains everything and nothing all at once. All the variants of body on display are pure prosthesis just as our shallow digital bodies that increasingly eat into our material psyches are, rendering us ever increasingly as digital content and information without a physical presence. We may adjoin the internet to ourselves as self-improvement measure, but as Freud speculated, when we use prosthetic limbs such as these to improve our lives, we also take something away, and Olde Food shows what mouldy mess would be left over if this were taken to its logical extreme. Perhaps, it’s not a shark that lies in wait at the exhibition, but a worrying projection of our future.'
