Live performance and installation by 110%.

Commissioned by Performance Space for Liveworks Festival, Sydney, Australia, October 2018

​

For Liveworks 2018, 110% developed a large-scale installation and performance work that responded to the industrial heritage of Carriageworks, the festival presentation venue. Using a combination of steel scaffolding, raw clay, foam, canvas and performing bodies, the trio rezoned the building’s public space into a site of active art occupation. Throughout the festival period, the parasitic installation of porous and leaking architectural forms received ongoing support and attention from a team of highly disciplined workers who performed gestures of construction, maintenance and care. Through an accumulation of tactile pressures of trace and touch, 110% produced an onsite ooze industry that sought to sweat the foundations of minimal sculpture and collaborative practice.

​

For the closing night of the festival, 110% collaborated with Sydney-based sound artist, Enderie, for a final exploration of space, action and residue in their monumental installation.
