teetering, tittering, tits up is an exhibition of sculptural works that imagine structures for queer and multispecies intimacies. Playful reconfigurations of outdoor equipment such as tarpaulin, tentpoles, and trampolines offer refuge in their corrugations and curvatures.
Developed in response to wetland bird hides and other cruising sites, the exhibition takes an irreverent, ironic, and absurd approach to ecological relationships.
Bird hides, banksia trees, playgrounds, and underbellies of bridges facilitate encounters between a range of ecological beings from migratory birds to lovers (human and non-human).
From the artist:
“The exhibition builds on recent work interested in cruising locations as sites of queer and multispecies intimacies. Bird hides, banksia trees, playgrounds, and underbellies of bridges facilitate encounters between a range of ecological beings from migratory birds to lovers (human and non-human).
Backgrounded by the continual privatisation and domestication of both land and queer sexuality, these semi-private, semi-public sites offer structures for feeling (the breeze, the shade, a lover’s embrace, hope amongst *wildly gestures around* all of this).”
