1. (obsolete) According to the rules of an old drinking game in which the drinker upturned the empty cup and had to drink more if the remaining droplets spilled beyond the edge of his fingernail.
2. To the last drop, to the bottom.
Supernaculum comes from ‘to drink upon the nail’, a phrase coined from a 16th century drinking game where players pour the remaining drops in their glass onto their nail. If there are more drops left in your cup than can fit on your nail, you have another drink. The meaning that has survived the longest, though rare, is the idea that if a beverage is of the highest quality, it must be drunk to the very last drop. We believed Brooklyn and its iconic legacy in Fitzroy and Melbourne was exactly that, one of the highest quality so we wanted to squeeze every last drop out of it.
Creatives around Melbourne responded to the call out and in Brooklyn Arts Hotel style, all areas of the arts were represented; visual, audio, conceptual, performance, installation, media, literature, philosophy, craft, fashion, film, animation and activism.

From 5th to 8th March 2020 we presented SUPERNACULUM ‘to the last drop’. Self-described resourceful, eclectic and playful creatives activated the whole building and highlighted its usual and unusual spaces, such as showers, toilets, laundry rooms and under stair cases.
The (im)permanent exhibition was open between 12 and 5pm, but for all those who want to experience Brooklyn Arts Hotel in its finest and final form we hosted SUPERNACULUM UP LATE; three wild evenings of passionate creativity and mad enthusiasm. In addition to the gallery works, a program of music, dance, performance and interactive works led guests from room to room.
Guests of SUPERNACULUM got into bed with a poet, met our resident lodger who had overstayed his welcome (but was too charming to kick out), witnessed site specific dance works choreographed across bathrooms and bedrooms, audio visual performances in a shower, were sung to in the sunroom and saw hotel sheets transformed into canvases using salvaged ink.
