You’re invited to Radical Hospitality: Submersible Supper Club
Radical Hospitality invites you to converge, connect and spark new encounters with artists, thinkers, innovators, friends and neighbours through the radical power of sharing. Founder of the Seaweed Appreciation Society international, artist and DIY marine biologist Lichen Kelp collaborates with Quincy Malesovas of experimental supper club, GRUEL, featuring a performance by Kelping (Lichen Kelp and Dylan Martorell).
Radical Hospitality: Submersible Supper Club is inspired by the sea, its vegetation and its surrounds – and builds on the conversations from To pitch a tent, to pull it back down – sharing ideas from the research commission by Next Wave’s Tidal artists Aaron Claringbold, Eliki Reade, Jack Mitchell, and Rebecca McCauley.

Lichen Kelp is an artist, performer and curator. Her solo work investigates ephemeral biological processes and the transubstantiation of chemical reactions. Melting, subliming, fruiting, flowering, decomposing, bubbling and shapeshifting are explored through field work, photography and live experiments emerging from liquid landscapes.
Performing as part of Kelping with Dylan Martorell she creates haptic and multi-sensorial unfolding scenographies, with soundscapes derived from electronic ikebana; local botanicals and handbuilt electronics as well as hydrophones, water percussion and ice based touch sensitive instruments.
Her curatorial projects include Seaweed Appreciation Society international (SASi), School of Untourism- East Gippsland and the travelling residency program; Forum of Sensory Motion as well as her performance picnic series MULCH. These seek to build temporal, improvised and multi-species communities around shared research topics including marine algae, estuarine ecologies, cuttlefish mating ceremonies and plant cultivation. Creating enhanced experiences through bio-mutual gatherings and live, often improvised collective actions, these projects provide a community engaged model of psycho-ecological exploration.
GRUEL is a Melbourne/Naarm-based experimental dining platform. Their goal isn’t to be an alternative to conventional dining, but something that exists outside it and evolves with it. Rather than eschew the mundane, grotesque or confronting sides of food, they embrace them. They aim to foster social and cultural awareness through food and provide a platform for those with an alternative approach to hospitality.
GRUEL is run by food writer and researcher Quincy Malesovas with support from rotating collaborators.
TIDAL & Radical Hospitality is supported by City of Melbourne, Mission to Seafarers & Centre for Projection Art.
