Allison Hrabluik, "What if we were alive," 2018

Curated by Natasha Chaykowski

Opening reception and performance by Bridget Moser

Saturday, September 22, 3 – 6 pm

This Poem Does Not Help Me at All is a collection of short works that take on multiple forms and shift unpredictably between performative modes, texts, and sounds. Seemingly improvised but in fact carefully scripted, these hybrid works feature bizarre interactions with everyday inanimate objects, abstract body movements, and absurd monologues. Moving between states of criticality, humour, and emotion, the resulting performance is at turns entertaining, sometimes tender and often, bewildering.​

What if we were alive is a group exhibition of video and performance works by Bridget Moser, Steve Roggenbuck, oualie frost, Allison Hrabluik and Salote Tawale. The works in this exhibition variably consider the conundrums, tenderness, triumph, loss and exquisite strangeness of being a human. From the absurdity of life’s everyday rituals and the inherent pathos of hope, to the sincerity of love and the necessary loneliness of life, these works each oscillate between the profoundly idiosyncratic nature of experience and the threads of universality that foreground what it means to be human.
