Artist Performance - Emily Promise Allison: Conundra

In her performances, Emily combines her intuitive physicality and everyday objects into poetic, absurd actions.
About this Event

Presented in conjunction with Illingworth Kerr Gallery's exhibition , exhibiting artist Emily Promise Allison presents Conundra, a 40-minute performance examining how materials transform and how humans interact with matter.

Emily's dreamlike performances blur the lines between living and non-living things. Using humour and a playful approach, she explores the gap between the dream realm and waking life.
