Opening Saturday 29 November 2025, 6pm-8pm
The artist’s young son accidentally overloaded his porridge bowl in the microwave. Discovering this tiny scene of spilt-over chaos, illuminated by the microwave ‘gallery’ lights, her artist eyes committed it to memory. The canny child, recognising opportunity when he saw it, promptly claimed 50% of sales on any artworks made in its likeness.
In solidarity, we now gaze upon this familiar domestic drama.
Porridgegate: A Breakfast Tragedy revisits the moment, to ask: How could this have happened (again)? Perhaps this time we’ll uncover the truth. Or perhaps, one day, we’ll look back and gently smile at the absurdity of it all - a small, sticky reminder of everyday life and its inevitable overflows.
About Chutespace
In November 2013 the former Griffith Library after-hours book-returns chute was transformed by Jeffree Skewes and Kerry Shepherdson, into a distinctive miniature exhibition space named CHUTESPACE.
CHUTESPACE is an artist run initiative and continues to be voluntarily curated and managed. Artists of all genres can apply for an exhibition.
Mini exhibitions are featured for four-week periods in line with the M16 main gallery exhibition periods.
All artist proposals are considered, and exhibitions are free to the artist.
