Do You Do This Often?

Abstract

This was a throwaway question someone asked me recently following my solo performance as part of the exhibition Superposition of Three Types at Artspace, Sydney. The follow up question was a query about whether I had done 'something' at a similar institution in the recent past.

But I keep returning to it because it reveals so many aspects of the performance/live work/choreography discussion in this current time when it is existing within the museum, gallery as well as many other spaces concurrently and exposes so many contested areas for both the artist and the receiver or audience or viewer, depending on the shape you are making.
