Check Out the Strange New Window Display from The Bearded Tit
Keeping it weird.
"Unsettling and gross" aren't normally words you'd want associated with your bar. But then again, The Bearded Tit has never been entirely 'normal'. The much loved Redfern watering hole and exhibition space has earned a reputation for its strange and sensational artwork — and their latest piece, from Amaya Lang and Nicky Minus, is certainly no exception.
Set to appear in the bar's front window from Monday, January 11, the piece will mark the second collaboration between ceramicist Lang and cartoonist Minus, following their team-up at last year's Underbelly Arts Festival. The work reflects the pair's mutual interest in distorted depictions of the female body, and is sure to draw the attention of unsuspecting pedestrians on Regent Street.
"The ceramics are visceral and fleshy, while the bodies in the wall images are contorted and uncomfortably overlapping," says Lang. "Together, the works have a sexual tone that could feel a bit yuck to some."
The window display is part of The Bearded Tit's larger Hole Lotta Love series, an all-female art showcase set to run until February 20. Other artists whose work will be featured include photographer Liz Ham and video and performance artists Nat Randall and Emily O'Connor.
Hole Lotta Love launches on Monday January 11 at 6pm. For more information visit www.thebeardedtit.com.au.
