JESSICA CHAO
Fine Dining, art installation, Graft Gallery
Graft Collective curated an art exhibition titled "Clearance! Clearance! Clearance!" that centered around furniture-themed art pieces. Jessica's installation showcases a formal dining table that is positioned both inside and outside of Graft Gallery.
Guests were encouraged to engage in a social experiment that challenged their verbal communication and physical contact, relying solely on body language. The table was adorned with formal dining ware, candles, cloth napkins, and crystal-etched bowls that were intentionally split in half to create a uniform dining table for two guests to share.
The exhibition also features parallels and equal opposites, such as salt shakers on one end and pepper shakers on the other, and a chair and table set on the outside and another set on the inside.
During the opening of the exhibition, guests were seated in the chairs and offered wine as a reward for participating in the experiment.
