Through a screening and discussion of current work Marina
Vishmidt presents her research into embodied practices which
stage a negative critique of work from a feminist perspective in
the art of the past several decades and argues that the critique
of womens’ labour can also evoke the critique of another kind of
labour: the labour of reproducing and performing gender in a
disciplinary economy of representation.

Claire Makhlouf Carter, whose work Demo – Penfold Street explores
the limits and antagonisms of performance, self-immolation,
social relations and stench.

The event finishes with a Chicks On Speed Performance – Lecture,
A Modest Proposal featuring: Melissa Logan, Anat Ben-David,
Rachael Matthews and Sonja Todd.
