THE MANHOLE TEA SET CEREMONY by Satur Chong
24 + 25 June
30-minute performances at 1 pm + 3 pm
The Manhole Tea Set is a performance piece where the artist, Satur Chong, and random members of the public are invited to sit down around a manhole, in a pretend ceremony of drinking tea.
A tea set installed on a chosen manhole cover in South Kensington and in Battersea RCA Campus, both the teapot and 2 cups having a matte black texture and the same pattern as the manhole cover
Satur Chong is a Malaysian artist currently studying at The Royal College of Art, in London. Her practice and research continually focus on exploring the relationship between individual-perspective jewelry as an intimate object and macro-perspective public art. Her recent artworks included mix-media wearable objects, crafts objects, and public installations in various sites for example lifts, streets, and toilets, in pursuit of an interactive, relational, and communication-provoking art form.
