The Food for Thought team is Thomas Rivard and Michael Lewarne. Combining decades of experience in the fields of architecture, public art, performance, education, installation, and event design and management, we pursue a wide variety of urban projects (both collectively and individually) that invariably involve many collaborators from equally varied fields of expertise.

Thomas A Rivard is an architect, educator, filmmaker and artist; he heads Lean Productions, a multi-disciplinary practice making buildings, objects and fables, and dedicated to bringing together all manner of collaborators in the common (and uncommon) pursuit of the impossible and the improbable. He teaches regularly in Sydney’s Universities, and runs the Urban Islands program. His work is dedicated to re-imagining the potential links between provocative cultural acts and the urban environments in which they thrive. www.leanproductions.com.au

Michael Lewarne’s skills and interests lie in the site specific construct, through a rich and diverse collection of projects and experiences embracing public art, buildings, design for dance and theatre, jewelery, and design for lights and darkness. He currently runs his own company Redshift, undertaking a multiplicity of projects, with a broad array of collaborators, and is currently on a quest to make manifest the illusory. www.redshiftaa.com.au

Via our continuing dialogue on space and inhabitation we are constantly seeking to expand the nature of our projects as well as the boundaries of cross disciplinary creative practices that are both critical and constructive, and contributing to the cultural life of cities.
