Curated by Danni Zuvela, Push / Pull is a program of live, experiential, post-object and otherwise ‘non-haveable’ art.
Including experimental sound and music, food, lecture performance, plants, poetry, re-enactments and responses to the archive, short and durational performance works, tactile installation, video, and voice works; understanding that the right amount of strain can be productive, Push / Pull explores how experimental art thrives on tension – drawing its charge from confronting cliches, cultivating frisson, destabilising norms and proposing new modalities.
