Slipstream / Festival of Time Based Art
Shake up your perception of the past and future.
Overview
Slipstream / Festival of Time Based Art brings together experimental artworks that aim to shake up your perception of what is past, what is future, and the boundaries between disciplines, themes and audience participation.
Held over three days, the microfestival features innovative works by artists from around the world. The Stance, choreographed by Brisbane-based Liesel Zink, will see nine dancers gather in King George Square to perform from 10am to 7pm, invoking themes of public protest and endurance.
Performance installation Drawn In is a week-long project where three artists in different disciplines come together to transform a space through responsive collaboration. Swiss artist Gregory Stauffer’s Walking offers a strange and humorous blend of contemporary dance and performance art, while Joke Trading by Slipstream’s artist-in-residence Joseph Breikers invites audience members to interact with the artist through the act of telling jokes to one another.
Slipstream will flow into Metro Arts from 13 to 15 August. Full program details are available the event website.
