Abstract
Part of the Peformance as our Duty exhibition, 1st Venice International Peformance Art Week, December 8-15, 2012 As opposed to directly evoking a particular migration story, the work instead sought to investigate the open-ended nature of these readings, via the incorporation of multiple, unstable visual signifiers such a flags, boats, clothing and a series of performative/sculptural gestures that continually foreclosed any possibility of a direct reading of the work. In this manner, the works sought to simultaneously link each of these gestures back to both the history of Australian settlement, as well as to the journeys/travels undertaken in classical myths and legends
