Opening Reception: Sat 3 December, 4-6 pm - all welcome

Banquet, the new installation by Dr. Raimi Gbadamosi, is a meeting point for people with complicated social relationships. Even though banquets are often celebratory feasts, they highlight social exclusion and the uneasiness of social gatherings: do “bad news goes better with food”? Codes of propriety surround banquets: from dress to deportment; decorum and use of language; instill an understanding of the managed engagement between the individuals at the meal. Raimi encourages involvement from the viewers to create new understandings.
Dr Raimi Gbadamosi is a British conceptual artist and writer. His work addresses themes of identity and art theory, often using his trademark motif of yellow, white and black. www.the-republic.net
