"TV dinners" was obsessed with television “how to cook” shows and take away meals. It was an exploration ofconsumership: of what we see, think and believe. The evening intended to draw a relationship between the senses with discussions surrounding culture, authenticity and simulation.

Video menu/cookbook (along with publication) in collaboration with artist Ayako Yoshimura (based in Amsterdam) portrayed different kitchens of different cultural backgrounds acting like a self-portrait through interiors, cupboards and refrigerators. Each owner was also invited to contribute a recipe for the cookbook that may appear on the Take Away menu.

Participants chose a dish number from the video menu. All meals were packaged in anonymous specially designed take away boxes. The meals related to the video works and created a dialogue between the action of eating and viewing.

Lisa Cheung’s work explores notions of locality and our perception of the spaces that surround us. She draws the viewer into created spaces, encouraging engagement and interaction. Not easily categorised, her practise encompasses participatory events, communal processes of making and revolves around interactions between individuals and the worlds they inhabit. Many works use everyday materials and cues slightly shifted, to produce hybrid sculptures and imaginative, almost whimsical situations. Cheung draws on her personal heritage and Chinese culture as a source of stimulation.

Cheung has presented solo projects at Camden Arts Centre (2002), Chinese Arts Centre, Manchester (2002, 2004), and Derby Museum and Art Gallery (2003). Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum (2003) as part of Home's "Art & Food", Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia and Gwangju Biennale, Korea.
