The Food Court; supplied
As The Food Courts’ writer-in-residence, Megg Minos, has described: ‘The Food Court is not like any other A.R.I. It has lived on the edges of things – physically and in its curatorial focus.’
Occupying an abandoned food court within the Waterfront City complex at Melbourne’s Docklands, the project came about when Marcus Westbury called for artists to activate the area. It was a model that he had made successful with the Renew Newcastle project, which gave disused city spaces to artist and creatives.
