Wingman
Can't get a date? Pick up some tips from this artist's search for love.
Overview
Speaking to all dudes who can't get dates, WINGMAN is a new exhibition that traces one Auckland man's attempts to find love in the city of Sydney. Mark O'Donnell isn't good at much, but he is an artist, so he pulled himself up by his bootstraps, chose some appropriately arty spaces to pick up (the MCA, the Biennale), and documented it all for your viewing pleasure. Was he punching above his weight? Or was he just putting himself out there?
O'Donnell's efforts are apparently reminiscent of 'lekking' — the courtship ritual of the Prairie Chicken, which combines "dancing, calling, and displaying plumage". We're not sure if we're looking forward to seeing what that looks like in human form, but it's bound to be interesting.
The exhibition is presented by New Zealand's Dog Park Art Project Space and features work by improvisational artist Daphne Simons alongside O'Donnell's, as well as a bunch of other talented kids, all selected to frame the ideas behind WINGMAN.
