EXHIBITION
13-15 May | PV 13th 6-9pm
From wet washing dripping to dirty soil tracks, clean carpets and blushing bubbles; Mood Swigs is an immersive installation of four artists creating an atmosphere, a feeling, a mood.
This exhibition highlights their works in development which move, stumble and dance around playful moments of identity slippage. Sculptures as figure, figure as machine, ghost partier in the bath.
The artists draw from collective interests in low culture, high camp, eroticism, ecstasy, and hauntology. [Kavitha’s smacking lips, Georgia’s glittering glitch, Katie’s bottles clinking, Maria’s ass-a-shakin’.] These works seek to haptically augment and adorn private histories and lovingly personified specters across blurred temporalities.
Material subversions in latex, projection, flock, and liquid inhabit a space describing imaginal bodies in-flux with their environments and (end) times.
