HAIR is excited to announce our April exhibition 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥 𝘼𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖 with 𝐃𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐑 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬/𝐃𝐑𝐌. Opening on Thursday, 25 April from 6–8pm with a live performance. 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥 𝘼𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖 presents a site-specific extraction of material from DRM’s recent PhD performance-exhibition 𝙋𝙄𝙇𝙊𝙏 (presented at Temperance Hall in 2023) and their ongoing video-choreography project 𝙏𝙀𝙇𝙇𝘿𝙍𝙄𝙇𝙇 (2022-2024). Central to the exhibition is DRM’s repeated performance action of the ‘sniffer dog’, and a focus on systemised modes of perspective which they position as ‘digital visuality’. 𝙉𝙤𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙥 𝘼𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙖 iterates these propositions, which find queer-erotic dynamics within logics of surveillance, into a static exhibition context in close parallel to the exterior street (or the public ‘agora’). A live excerpt of the choreography of 𝙋𝙄𝙇𝙊𝙏, performed at the exhibition’s opening night, re-performs the ‘sniffer dog’ and creates a situation of leakage across the threshold of the gallery and public space, and of action and imaging. The exhibition and performance are scored by a semi-generative composition made from audio documentation of the ‘sniffer dog’ in rehearsal, and by ASCII code artworks generated from rehearsal/documentary footage.
