Becoming (again and again)

Locals are invited to come and explore the relationship between sculpture and performance this month at Southbank’s creative open space Testing Grounds.

Becoming (again and again) sees artist Zoë Bastin use Testing Grounds as a platform to explore the relationship between the processes of making a sculpture, and its performative qualities.

Bastin’s residency sees Testing Grounds installed with a coconut-encrusted hammock, as well as a plaster-casted clay mould, pierced and supported with a rope-perspex cylindrical grip.

Bastin creates both products and encounters and her assemblages act as “catalysts for choreographic play and improvisation throughout the residency”.

Currently undertaking a PhD at RMIT University, Bastin has exhibited her works in Melbourne, rural Victoria and Zurich, Switzerland, and held numerous public performances.

Her residency runs until August 21 and is a free event for all ages.
