Causarious v0cation (a mixer)

Performance by Owen G. Parry and Tamara Tomić-Vajagić, with sound installation by Anika Vajagić and Owen G. Parry.

Causarious v0cation is a mixer event within The Big Mixer exhibition, reflecting on the idea that people and objects might relate in vicarious, indirect and unpredictable ways. How might the exhibited artworks at The Big Mixer effectuate new, covert or unpredictable connections and meanings if we re-approach them as sensuous objects?

The act of “Shipping” new character pairings in fanfiction, and the iconic social media performances of mixologists Mixie and Munchie (@2girls1bottl3) become our guides for ‘vicarious causation’ (Graham Harman) - a metaphysics of human-non human object relations 000 including the relational (sensuous) and real objects, along with some other resources, such as out-of-date Urban Dictionary definitions.

The Big Mixer

5th Dec-16th Dec, 2024.
The Big Mixer is a group exhibition curated bt Fine Art postgraduates Flowfinch (@finchy973) and Assembling art (@assemblingart), that merges traditional and experimental art forms. The upstairs space features a classic white-cube gallery, while downstairs the space retains its roots as a bakery, complete with an iconic food mixer.

In English, 'mixer' evokes both a food mixer and an audio mixer, but it also represents a group in fusion, gathering, conversation, and exchange. Brought back to life, the mixer located in the gallery, is a symbol of social convergence and disruption. The Good Rice gallery is a two-floor art project space by Central Saint Martins, 'challenging who & what gallery is for.'
