Worm (w)hole:
Orifice Oriented Ontologies
-
This collection forms the expanded contexture from Frances Barrett’s exhibition Meatus at The Australian Centre of Contemporary Art (ACCA). Just as the position of artist-cum-curator of Meatus includes work by Nina Buchanan, Del Lumanta, Brian Fuata, Hayley Forward, and Sione Teumohenga, we echo this hydra-headed mutation. In ‘Worm (w)hole: Orifice Oriented Ontologies,’ we present essays, poetics, video and score works from Archie Barry, Sage Pbbbt, Allison Gibbs, and V Barratt who constitute the performance program at ACCA, Orifice Oriented Ontologies (OOO), occurring on Saturday 21 May 2022. They are joined by Ander Rennick, Ivan Cheng, Jared Davis, and Frances Barrett to formulate a slippery anatomy of resonant negative volumes. Debris Facility Pty Ltd acts here as editor, artist, curator, producer, but primarily parasite.
