Nights at the Nest in a culinary collaboration with Chin Chin

HYPER REAL

Nights of the Nest has chosen a new playground, collaborating exclusively with Chin Chin and the underground space of Chii Town, Sydney. A specifically curated menu by @chinchin Executive chef Graeme Hunt in collaboration with @Offerings and her signature mulit-sensory experiences.

A new breed of HAPPENING that merges installation art and performance with food and beverage. Where the importance of collective dining as a part of a modern ritual and sensory food subculture, fuse and ignite into an experimental playground of TOUCH, SOUND, ART, TASTE.

Experience immersive mischief, utilising the five senses.

Touch

Cut through the metal fence and lick the walls, you become a part of the art installations. This is a full throttle sensory experience.

Sound

Add a pinch of ground breaking performance and delicious sound design for your aural pleasure.

Taste

Five interactive food and beverage experiences. Delivered to you through performance, interactive design and the wildest of imaginings!

This is a one of kind opportunity to see an evolution of Chin Chin never seen before.

Join Louise Cargo & Louise Paiti as they share their insight, experience and passion with you and their belief in the power of the collective and their calling to create a community through Yoga. An evening of yoga, meditation, music and food.

Each year, we experience two equinoxes and two solstices – the tipping points of each season. At these times, there is a perfect balance between day and night. Honouring the autumn equinox can help you to bring balance, abundance, and gratitude to your life.

BRAD TEODORUK

A solo exhibition featuring new paintings by Brad Teodoruk.

‘Future Artefacts Gallery’ - Thursday 17th January 2019 at 6:00 PM

Brad Teodoruk draws inspiration everywhere: from pop culture, through current affairs and conversations with friends, to antique birdwatching guides and poetry. Like a prism in reverse, these influences confer through the artist and focus into a single artwork, with floating phrases and disjointed images merging into visual poetry.

Omission is a theme that is included throughout most of Teodoruk’s practice, the layering creating a hidden history within the work. The juxtaposition of flat and impasto surfaces tells as much of a story as the images scattered across the canvas. In his most recent works, Teodoruk has gotten looser with his brush, giving the canvas over to shape, composition and colour.

Composition is everything. The tension in a painting holds together separate elements as they hover dangerously close to drifting into chaos, though always bound together by form. Sometimes, what holds the separate elements is a deadpan joke or a visual pun. The Shepherd, a minute work with more parts to it than should be possible, depicts a golfer followed by two sheep. The sheep seem to be drawn by a different hand and only attach to the golfer through the title.

Teodoruk’s work has an air of free association, as though he is showing us a mind-map that is at once personal and drawn from the public domain. The viewer is prompted to immerse himself, filling in gaps through curiosity and recognition.
