For the 6th Athens Biennale 2017-2018 "waiting for the Barbarians", The Domestic Godless consider the idea of the Barbarians coming from the North. With them, they bring foods that present the potential to cause both environmental and unsalvageable cultural damage, including their own invasive pests. They will build a multi-sensory installation, where they will pair ingredients, alien to the Mediterranean, with local produce to create bastardized offspring, and present dishes prepared from plants and creatures that have wrought havoc at home. The Domestic Godless were founded by artists Stephen Brandes and Mick O’Shea, (later to be joined by Irene Murphy) under the Cork Artists Collective banner at the exhibition Artists/Groups at The Project Arts Centre, Dublin in 2003. Since then, it has been our mission to explore the potential of food (its taste, its presentation, its history and its cultural values) as a vehicle for irreverent artistic endeavour and experimentation. Through recipes, installations and public presentations we employ food as both a concept and a medium through which to convey humour, empathy and other qualities that distinguish art from purely craft. with the kind support of Culture Ireland hospitality sponsor blueground Share
