Oxygen welcome artists Angela Glanzmann, Stephanie Yee as Artists-in-Residence
Oxygen Art Centre is excited to welcome artists Angela Glanzmann and Stephanie Yee as Artists-in-Residence from April 10th to the 23rd to create an installation for their forthcoming exhibition entitled EAT IT UP.
Expanding on their own histories, ethnicities, and social positions, Glanzmann and Yee invite viewers behind the scenes into the weird and obscure world of competitive cooking reality TV.
Their installation takes place on the set of a fictional show EAT IT UP, complete with a presentation table, competitor’s kitchen stations, and pantry/food storage. Constructed out of common household supplies, food sculptures speak to the culinary resourcefulness and resilience of their ancestors as they had to adapt to new cultures and customs.
During their residency the artists invite the public to “Open Kitchen” to take part in the artistic process and create a favourite dish of their choice in papier mâché or clay on Saturday, April 16 and Saturday April 23 from 1-3 p.m., Contributed food sculptures will be included in the exhibition, on view from 27 April to 28 May 2022.
Join us on Saturday, April 30 at 1 p.m. (PST) for an online artist talk to learn more about the residency, exhibition, and artists. Admission is free or by donation, everyone welcome to attend.
