Visual Bulk presents Equated Dissonance. Exhibition opening Friday the 6th April at 6pm and panel discussion Sunday the 8th April at 3pm.
Equated Dissonance is an exhibition which explores queer bonds and non-normative kinships. Emerging Hobart artist Clare Powell invites Sydney based artists Mark Mailler, Ainslie Templeton and Kieran Bryant to contribute their own perspectives on queer relationships and heartache.
Curator, Clare Powell says that, “Equated Dissonance is a collective exposition surrounding the turmoils of queer love and non-normative kinships. Through a mix of sculptural, performative, digital and written works, Equated Dissonance offers four unique responses to themes of love, sex and family.”
To accompany the physical exhibition, the artists have compiled the Equated Dissonance Reader, a collection of texts which offer relevant queer criticism and narration. The Reader will be available at the exhibition’s opening, and is also available to download via the this link:
In an effort to extend the camaraderie of the exhibition opening event, Equated Dissonance has invited audiences to a Sunday afternoon-tea and discussion panel surrounding issues of contemporary queer love and contemporary practice. This session will include talks and readings by visiting artists and discussions drawn from the Equated Dissonance Reader.
Exhibition curator Clare Powell, or visiting artists Mark Mailler, Kieran Bryant and Ainslie Templeton are available for interview about the show and their work in the coming days.
