The City of Melbourne is strengthening its creative global ties - teaming up with three organisations across the Asia Pacific region to showcase the work of local and international artists.
The Biennial Live Event in the Everyday Digital (BLEED) will bring together Melbourne's Arts House, the Campbelltown Arts Centre in Sydney, the Taipei Performing Arts Center and Taipei's Museum of Contemporary Art to premiere the works of 17 artists across various contemporary art commissions.
BLEED will explore how art can be consumed, experienced and translated across formats and locations, attracting significant local and global audiences.
Three works will be presented at Arts House from 29 August to 25 September:
- Running Machine - a hybrid of dance and sculptural installation of movement by Australian and Japanese artists Yuiko Masukawa, Sam Mcgilp, Harrison Hall, Makoto Uemura and Kazuhiko Hiwa
- room2 - in-person and online performances that plug into a world before the internet
- Toe fai! - a multi-disciplinary work by Studio Kiin probing the way genealogical knowledge transference is deconstructed, redefined and rejected in the digital world.
This year's BLEED will build on the success of the 2020 program, which reached over 12,000 unique users online during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Accessibility is a key focus of the initiative, which will be presented in English and Chinese - with captioning, live audio description, a tactile tour and recorded audio description, and Auslan interpretation.
