19 Apr HOWL by AHIDS

! just before everything was closed down I was part of this epic piece by APHIDS. In the iteration for Adelaide 2020, HOWL included the most hated art piece in the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia: We are all flesh, by Berlinde de Bruyckere and  This Woman is Not a Car by Margarete Dodd. Margarete came to see the show and had a great time.

It was a HOOT – all 3 evenings were booked out and the audience had a great time, at least that what I was told! What an experience to goof around inside the Art Gallery – in a respectful way! – yes, that is a thing, and we did just that – what a fabulous team, thanks everyone.

The work of APHIDS is feminist, intersectional, angry and funny; bringing artists into meaningful exchange with audiences through performance, critical dialogue and unpredictable encounters in the public realm. Our projects promote open, accessible yet complex and rigorous encounters between artists and public.
