Carolyn Craig in Conversation
Saturday July 4, 2pm – 3pm | PARKER Contemporary
Join PARKER Contemporary for an informal conversation with Carolyn Craig, presented alongside his current exhibition Becoming Penguin (Act II).
Informed by Michelle Alexander’s writing on the contemporary caste system, Becoming Penguin (Act II) considers how structural exclusion can be made to appear voluntary. Craig uses humour and transformation to unsettle ideas of innocence and blame, asking how identities of criminality or deviance are produced rather than simply found.
Moving between tenderness and absurdity, Becoming Penguin (Act II) asks what it means to seek protection from a world that continues to decide who is seen, who is suspected and who is left outside the huddle.
