Joel Hedge
Joel's work is similar to a 'Happening' in structure. Multiple performers engage in a succession of abstract performances of ordinary acts drawn from the orthodox acts of the site (UNSW Art & Design Campus courtyard), which primarily involve thoroughfare and idling. It also draws from queer histories of 'club kid' and 'new romantic' eras to present an extravagant investigation of the subliminal processes of seeing and being seen in public space.
