A Sense of Dislocation
4 June 2011, 2 pm
A Sense of Dislocation, the performance, was inspired by and a meditation on the performative nature of Jai-Yin Loo's digital media artwork also entitled A Sense of Dislocation.
The performers were; Jeong Whang, Elise Chan, Kristian Larsen and Warren Pringle.
Although focused on the aspects of humiliation inherent in Loo's work the performance also distilled elements of the works of the three other artists, Grace Chai, Olivia Garelja and Nick Konings participating in the Transformance exhibition. A supporting background text was sourced and read from the writings of theatre artist Antonin Artaud. A sound environment composed by sound artist Jed Town was specifically commissioned for the event.
Both the performance and the exhibition were curated by Warren Pringle.
