An artist will cover the walls of an empty shop with chocolate to “engage the senses”, 21 years after she was nominated for the Turner Prize.
The installation will “engage the senses” with “beautifully scented chocolate”, organisers said, in the unoccupied shop space in the town where Gallaccio was born. She is known for her work with sculpture, using materials including flowers, fruit and grass which decay over time.In 1996 she created a 34-tonne ice cube with salt at its centre – named Intensities and Surfaces – which slowly melted, exploring themes of transience.
It will be exhibited from September 7 to December 31, coinciding with a major retrospective at Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent.
