[COMMA] *SCAPE Community Arts Residency: TasteTest

[COMMA] *SCAPE Community Arts Residency: TasteTest

Creative Arts

*SCAPE COMMUNE, L1

TasteTest is an eponymous exhibit by the artist collective TasteTest, consisting of Dawn Lim, Hilary Yeo, and Tulika Ahuja. Through visual art, sculpture, and performance, they uncover overlooked everyday experiences.

As part of the *SCAPE Community Arts Residency, the exhibit will explore how technology shapes desire in the context of food consumption. Take a seat at the dining table and gather with our devices to reflect on the languages of eating.

TasteTest’s multidisciplinary, “artist-as-fieldworker” approach uses first-person research to inform the final artworks.

Tulika Ahuja

Tulika Ahuja is an independent curator and writer exploring the absurdities of contemporary social conditioning through exhibition-making and approachable art encounters. Her process is informed by collaboration, research, experimentation and a non-disciplinary approach that prioritises ideas over traditional academic boundaries. She leads projects at Mama Magnet and spends her free time practicing ceramic hand-building and yoga.

Dawn Lim Gin

Dawn Lim Gin is an ethnographer with a creative writing and performance art practice, who cares about the bonds between human and non-human. Interested in sifting alternate narratives, they oscillate between collaboration and introspection to discover the strange in the familiar and the familiar in the strange. Dawn believes in the affect of pluralising narratives and embodied resistance for a more liveable world.

Hilary Yeo

Hilary Yeo is a multi-disciplinary artist and sculptor exploring and articulating the notion of agency through sculpture. Her works prioritise non-human subjectivity: representing a continual goal in diminishing the script of a fixed human project in favour of a transcendental becoming across vectors of sexuality, gender, race, class, and other limiting constructs. She is the co-founder of ‘T.T.O.O’, a cross-genre art making collective.

What to Expect

😋 TasteTest Artist Talk

A relaxed, conversational artist talk where the audience becomes part of the dialogue. The TasteTest collective, Dawn, Hilary and Tulika co-interview each other over a shared meal, blurring the line between formal presentation and intimate gathering.

Participants are invited to bring their own meal – and observe, listen, and ask questions as the conversation moves through practice, process, food, and shared experience. The act of eating together becomes a soft framework for discussing collaborative art-making, personal learnings, and creative rituals.
