Lisa Cheung TV dinners
5th November 2004

Bites-sized cultural explorations were ordered from the take away menu and enjoyed in the comfort of home. This feast of cultural cuisines was accompanied by a "video menu" and a "How to Guide to Take Away" cookbook. Diners enjoyed their specially designed take away meals while watching a selection of video works that complimented the meal. "TV dinners" was obsessed with television "how to cook" shows and take away meals. It was an exploration of consumership: of what we see, think and believe. The evening intended to draw a relationship between the senses with discussions surrounding culture, authenticity and simulation.
