Each Action Equal gathers humorous and/ or
absurd performative gestures that communicate a
variety of deeper concerns:
the role of the gendered body in art, feminine relation to
Modernism, the gendering of
gestures and concern for how one should perform in film and art
making. Featuring works by
female artists utilising a combination of humour, the body and
performative aspects through
a variety of gestures from sitting on a power sander to quite
literally inserting oneself
into Modernism. These works share the desire to look at the impulse to
communicate, what these
awkward gestures may mean, the potential of humour as an artistic
and feminist strategy, and
how the gendered body is used in a creative context.
