In December 2010, Carbon Arts invited adventurous Melburnians to the Australian debut of the Cross(x)Species Adventure Club, a unique lifestyle experiment charting the Bermuda triangle of art, food and sustainability. At once an art performance, science lecture and cocktail party, this one-night-only event treated guests to three delicious, edible cocktails that each stylishly and humorously explored our gastronomic, economic and material interdependency on other creatures.
The Cross(x)Species Adventure Club is the brainchild of US-based environmental artist, Natalie Jeremijenko, and molecular gastronomist, Mihir Desai, who have been running the eco-inspired ‘supper club’ in New York and Bostson since August 2010. The project supports the research of Jeremijenko’s Environmental Health Clinic (xclinic) at New York University, an interdisciplinary arts lab aimed at remediating environmental systems.
