Feelings for Strangers

26 March 2023

I don’t know you yet

maybe I never will

but I have feelings for you

for you to have

or for you to leave

I can put the feelers out

and I can be strange

and you can eat cake

if you like

Javon Bennett works as a baker to create deliciously edible installations. Playfully exploring ingredients to stretch and extract flavours, textures and colours, applicating with a somewhat painterly eye and approach. His creations serve to hold a purposeful presence to be shared and gorged; to bring fleeting bliss with fantastical beauty. All the way down.

Natalie Price Hafslund is an artist and writer based in Oslo experimenting with notions of sociality, consciousness and narrative. Previous exhibitions include The Will to Believe, SET, London 2022, L’angoisse Dominicale, Treize, Paris 2022, Mirror of Impalpable Nudity, GAO, London 2020, Imagoholics, Elephant, Los Angeles 2019 and Clean Criminal, UKS and Kunstnernes Hus Oslo 2018.
