Act 01

Act 01 is a showcase of innovative new cross-art-forms. Presenting work that engages with the body in different acts of passion, obsession, desire, desperation and irritation - from the quirky to the alarming. An artist-led event that aims to engage the viewer’s body as well as their minds in experiencing the various media of visceral art.

Sculpture, painting, photography, and site-specific installations created by a culturally diverse, international group of emerging and established artists will be shown in all the gallery spaces. Also performances by Oreet Ashery and Oliver Frost will be interspersed with screenings of video art

The evening reflects art’s concern with the body and its actions in a contemporary light. Whether used as a means for identification with the viewer, or distorted and transmuted as a symbol, the strength of the body’s insinuated or actual presence is sensed throughout the exhibition.

ARTISTS: Oreet Ashery, Lee Adams, Juliana Amarel Lleite, Jemima Burchill, Oliver Frost, Ira Goodman, Julia Keller, Micheal Lisle-Taylor, Othen Mataragas, Rebbecca Marsh, Cecilia Mairat, Celia Noss, Vanda Playford, Olly P and Juliet Walker.

DJs and Cabaret Bizarre performer Timbolina will entertain throughout the evening until the early hours.
