Crude Tools, Feeble Actions | 2013 | Metro Arts, Brisbane
Crude Tools, Feeble Actions examines home-made BDSM objects and sites; finding the lapses that occur between the fanciful, highly erotic and DIY aesthetic. The exhibition expands on Booth’s interest in drawing associations between art history and erotica; how notions of materiality, marginality, and ritual are shared across discourses. Incorporating installation, sculpture, video, performance and sound, the works aim to examine and make tangible the paradoxes that encompass these different modes of labour, where sensuality has the potential to fall short.
