Emerging curator program participants Akira and Nathan Lasker will present their collaborative work as the third and final part of their program.
Loo D’aisance (ease and release) presents public toilets as a sort of communal “living space” that people appropriate to realise their desires. As sites for illicit and transgressive actions such as public sex or drug use, these toilets are a refuge for deviants across Sydney. Interpreting the narratives that surround these places into subtle actions, Untitled uses these spaces to map a psycho-topography of society by exploring the ways we assert or repress our identities.
Untitled addresses these issues obliquely as an impression of the artists' encounters with the space and the stories they have collected from those performing these acts. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, Untitled refuses to speak on behalf of those who use the public toilets, acting as an opaque screen that admits its inability to be truly involved with what happens there.
