As UNSW Galleries prepares for a new season of shows, our current exhibition will tonight (Thursday, 4 August) go out a high.

To mark the occasion three events are scheduled to take place.
The Book Launch
UNSW Art & Design researcher and lecturer, Dr Linsday Kelly explores how the experience of eating changes when technologies are introduced, and at times, consumed. Her latest book, Bioart Kitchen: Art, Feminism and Technoscience, featuring recipes from Kelley’s legendary experimental Bio-Art Kitchen workshops, will be launched tonight.
The Catalogue Release & Ceremony
UNSW Art & Design PhD Candidate and curator of the exhibition The Patient: The Medical Subject in Contemporary Art, Bec Dean, will tonight release the associated catalogue and will close the exhibition with a ending ceremony performed by Australian celebrant, Victoria Spence.
The Performance
American photographer and performance artist, Sheree Rose – known for her extraordinary body of work done with collaborator and life partner from 1952 until his death in 1996, Bob Flanagan – will perform An Ending with fellow performance artist, Fiona McGregor.
