With the performing body as the active site, Drag enables purposeful embodiments which can collapse the boundaries of truth/fiction, subjective/collective, and self/other.

Inspired by the writing of Renate Lorenz, Drag becomes a historical and political tool for symbiotic knowledge-making and knowledge-dismantling.

As someone existing between the gender binary, Kat’s practice acts as an explorative space for self-experimentation, perspective-switching, and speculative narrative building. They enact this by adapting Drag as a core methodology.

Kat Lalor is a Queer visual artist, generating a practice of worldbuilding through moving-image, performance and writing. They invoke their practice to interrogate constructed binary categories which limit the possibilities of Queer intelligibility.

This is how it feels to be an artist when your local community decides to celebrate their culture by using the machine that turns culture into sausage meat.

Lelia Doolan will reach the Dáil tomorrow after walking from Shannon to Dublin in protest at the use of our so-called civilian airport by the US military. You can walk with her from Dublin Castle at 10am, or welcome her at the Dáil at 12pm. #USMilitaryOutOfShannon

Holding reference to silent film, the work slowly renews, grows, and mutates temporally into an ode to Queer Club and Ballroom scenes, the deep and unyielding roots of community, activism, and political resistance, collapsing Queer time into a pulsing pool of immortality.

As this liquid travels, it bathes and permeates the soil, flowing around, through, and between various vampiric bodies, each in a varying state of preservation, transformation, or euphoria.

The film is visually led by a viscous green liquid, the source of infection, regeneration, and preservation amongst an ecosystem of underground vampires.

Paying homage to Drag as a resilient political power, the exhibition features a performative film set within soil; the living, renewing, connective tissue, humanised and tenderised by processes of decay.

UNDERGROUND

UNDERGROUND is a recognition and celebration of existence beneath the surface. Informed by Irish Vampiric Mythologies, this exhibition entangles underground cultures, Queer infrastructures, and the quiet, regenerating presence of the vampire.
