A ground-breaking transdisciplinary exhibition, Flux + Flow uncovers the expansive creative potential of the convergence of two very different disciplines: martial arts and contemporary art. The exhibition features the varied artworks of Caroline Garcia, Kristina Mah and Michellie Jade Charvat which are deeply informed by their martial arts practice of Kali, Jeet Kune Do, Karate and Muay Thai. Artists: Caroline Garcia, Kristina Mah and Michellie Jade Charvat Curator: Rachael Kiang Where: Art Gallery, Bankstown Arts Centre When: 9 March-27 April, 2024.
I created three new works for this group exhibition,
• Nature Nurture (installation)
• Generation Stage (installation and performance), and
• Towards Wu Wei (sculpture).
