CLAIRE CUNNINGHAM: 4 LEGS GOOD
This lecture performance by multi-disciplinary artist Claire Cunningham explores her artistic practice -specifically the use / misuse, study and distortion of crutches in artistic practice and how they shape her practice. In the widest sense her work has shifted from its explorations about the connection between the crutches and the body – from what is possible in the combination of the crutches with her and other bodies to how the crutches connect her to the world.
Lecture performance in English.
Handicapped accessible offers: the artist’s live audio description is a part of the performance.
Early admission.
