Independence lunch
|
 In 2003, the South London Gallery separated from Southwark Council to operate as an independent charitable trust. To celebrate this newly independent status the gallery invited artists to contribute work to the exhibition Independence - taking the subject of independence as a point of departure.  |
For this project Tilson planned, cooked and served a celebration lunch to South London Gallery staff during the installation of the show. The meal was cooked with ingredients from independent grocers and markets in Peckham.
For the exhibition he made a diorama from fly-tipped materials found within half a mile of the gallery. the diorama was filled with the research and evidence of the lunch. A PDF book was made of recipes and photographs alongside a small website. LINK to the Independence Lunch website |
