Employing ‘exhibition as form’ as a contextual framework, this work seeks to extend notions of reflexive practice as anchored by the ‘encounter event’ whilst in parallel, ideas of ‘affect intentionality’ found in First Nations art practice.This didactic text forms part, flows into, extends outward and sits alongside the installation in question. The artist fee received as part of this exhibition is being redirected to the Melbourne Aboriginal Youth, Sport & Recreation Co-operative.

Steven Rhall
Steven Rhall is a post-conceptual artist operating from a First Nation, white-passing, genderqueer, positionality. Rhall's interdisciplinary practice responds to the intersectionality of First Nation art practice and the Western art canon. He interrogates modes of representation, classification and hierarchy using installation, performance, process lead methodologies, 'curatorial' projects, sculpture, and via public & private interventions. Rhall exhibits internationally, lectures at the Victorian College of the Arts, is a PhD candidate at Monash University on Birrarung-ga land (Melbourne, Australia).
