Bring a picnic blanket and refreshments and join us for a splendid afternoon of live art and sonic performance in the University of Melbourne System Garden – an oasis in the heart of the Parkville campus. Performance chemist and curator Lichen Kelp brings together an eclectic range of artists to present a series of site-specific works in conversation with the plants and local ecologies of the Garden. Chemical reactions, improvised movement, experimental electronics, beekeeping, poetry and perfumery all combine in a dynamic program of esoteric and scientific investigation.

Featuring:

• Lisa Lerkenfeldt
• Nic Dowse/Honey Fingers
• David Haines
• Loren Kronemyer
• Kelp D with Benjamin Hancock
• A System Garden tour by Tim Uebergang and a talk by beekeeper Jean-Pierre Scheerlink

Free, all welcome.
