Workshop Statement

How might the body’s continuity, and its potential disruption, be attendant, provoked and contextualized in contemporary art? I’ll discuss current research – e.g. Massumi, Hansen, Nancy – on relationality and embodiment alongside my: interactive installations, which ask people to move in ways they normally wouldn’t; performative prints, produced by traversing the landscape with a desktop scanner; and public interventions, temporary architectural structures that move between hard and soft, virtual and actual, public and private. Here, the work is in unpacking, problematizing and making strange.
