Stepping outside of the tradition and into the unknown, the ways in which we experience artwork is rapidly changing. Blurring the line between exhibition space and viewing point, this month’s Experimenta Social speakers will present the ways in which they have challenged traditional presentation methods, redefining audience’s experiences and expectations.

Darkly humorous and provocatively satirical, Cake Industries’ performative mechatronic sculptures construct abstract narratives to reveal the complexities and absurdities of modern life. Their human/object hybrid forms are players in a surreal mechanical theatre, often presented in unexpected public spaces.

Mark Pritchard’s practice focuses on new writing, hybrid dramaturgies, and an investigation of ritual, narrative, and mythology in contemporary culture. One half of the Centre for Dramaturgy and Curation,along with curator and artist Arie Rain Glorie, the Centre leads independent research and experimentation in the fields of dramaturgy and curation to encourage the intersection of the two fields.

Experimenta Social is presented in partnership with  ACMI X and supported by Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO.
