Capturing the Real Trajectory Ensemble with artist Nat Randall

PRESENTED BY TANTRUM YOUTH ARTS

Capturing the real is a multi-artform project exploring ideas of liveness across performance, video and material. The exhibition engages in experimental processes that make room for contingency, randomness, accidents and failure.

Collaborating with acclaimed cross-disciplinary performance artist Nat Randall, Tantrum’s Trajectory Ensemble have considered what it is to be ‘live’ and the trace it leaves through a range of performance modes including participatory, task-based, site-specific and durational. 7 distinct yet connected enquiries have stemmed from this process for the 8 Ensemble members: online stranger intimacies; shifting identity through cosplay; art’s role in political action; customer service, complaints and microaggressions; women’s resistance/resilience through self-defense; women’s revolutionary power through song; and the transformative quality of movement.

During the opening weekend, the exhibition will be activated by the presence and performances of the Ensemble, with visitors then able to contemplate the remnants left behind throughout the following week.
