_this breath is not mine to keep
Globally we are witnessing the extinction of our world, and yet we continue to fuel our demise, so how do we notice our involvement, disrupt the stasis and rewrite the rules? _this breath is not mine to keep is a collaborative, interdisciplinary work, led by Jen Lyons-Reid & Carl Kuddell, to interrogate how everyday supremacy thinking manipulates our emotions, conceals systemic injustice and sabotages acts of solidarity.
Artists: Piri Eddy, Carl Kuddell, Lyn Lovegrove Niemz, Jen Lyons- Reid, Johanis Lyons-Reid, Jamila Main, Clyde Rigney Jnr, Justin Pounsett, Ben Tamba, Cedric Varcoe, Felix Weber + 23 poets
_this breath is not mine to keep is a provocative multi-arts experiment exploring 10 stages of grief, delusions of supremacy and the existential joy of life. Ten co-creative installations, including sculptures, bio-art, multimedia, painting and poetry, form an arts trail linking 4 public galleries in South Australia Sep 2020 – Jan 2021, with print and online publications.
The final show at Signal Point Gallery in Goolwa uses unfired clay, textiles, concrete, bio-art and multimedia to explore denial and how we will come to terms with multiple crises. For the first time, all Terracotta Worriers will gather their army of denialists, joined by 9 other works.
Auction alert: About 120 ephemeral Terracotta Worriers sculptures will be available to purchase, with proceeds to support Extinction Rebellion’s climate justice work. You can register your interest online and view some of the Worriers’ denialist army at www.thisbreath.space/gallery, or at Signal Point Gallery from Dec 11th onwards.
