Into My Arms, (Grace Marlowe with Virginia Barratt), Ace Open, Adelaide, 2018

Grace Marlow, ‘(again, back remain through’(2018)
‘(again, back remain through’ was a commissioned work embracing the site of ACE Open, its memory of experimental performance art, and the artists time researching and working in the space. The work negotiates ideas of the performative, reiterative function of language to consider the structural conditions of an embrace, and undertakes acts of translation from one form into another – written, vocalised, inscribed – and asks how can an embrace be performed in a body and through language.

B.A.B.S.: Virginia Barratt, Amy Ireland, Francesca da Rimini, performance, BC Institute, 20th Biennale of Sydney, 2016

For the 20th Biennale of Sydney, BC Institute created an evolving archive of performance art told from a multiplicity of perspectives. Through participatory performance, re-enactment and lectures, ‘Making History’ examined how feminist methodologies and alternative historiographical approaches can be used to reimagine past acts and events in the here-and-now.

After Ana Mendieta and Me: Falling, Flying, Becoming: Virginia Barratt, Ballinale, Spaceman Storage, Ballina, 2016

after Ana Mendieta and me: flying/falling/becoming 2016

I had a fear of flying
I cry in the staff galley at 33,000 feet
it’s ok, you are just doing philosophy
ana mendieta comes to live in my home, and i make a paper suit because of her
antony becomes bird-gehrl in our ears (ana and i, ana and me)
and we all fall/fly out the window together
the temptation to exist insists
tenderly
on something other than the ground
and so we choose the impossibility of air and a thousand folding furls
