EXHIBITION BRIEF: Mouthfeel is defined as the physical sensations in the mouth created by food or drink. The objective of this exhibition is to stimulate a synaesthetic response in the viewer through the observation of these films. The mouth is used by these artists to trigger the sense of taste and touch by the ingestion of edible and non-edible substances.


ARTISTS: Hillerbrand+Magsamen, Hannah Raisin, Nina Ross, Martynka Wawrzyniak, and Elizabeth Willing.
6 artists, 5 artworks.

Curated by Australian art historian, Megan Fizell, the video exhibition was an ambitious attempt to make visual what is not: the actual physical sensation of food, drink (or anything else) in the mouth, distinct from taste and smell.
