Performance Art in the Borchardt Library

Expend was produced by Prue Stevenson, a Melbourne based artist on the autism spectrum, on 31 March 2017, in the Writer's Block Cafe, Borchardt Library. Prue is a Taekwondo Black Belt, and performance art helps her expend the excess energy caused by autism. An exhibition of Prue's work was arranged by the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre (OTARC) in partnership with the La Trobe Art Institute, to mark World Autism Day​ at La Trobe University on 2 April 2017.

There’s people that watch this in amazement. That’s scary.

I took some taekwondo myself. She is doing a series of "ahre ahp olligi" kicks. They look almost like "neria chagi" - axe kicks - but they do not hammer down at the end of the follow throughs like the axe kick does.

Was looking for a good tutorial on how to paint the walls of the guest bedroom. Thanks for the good tips. 👍

Please refer the Latrobe Art Institute (LAI) #WAAD2017 "Expend" art exhibition: Artist’s Talk Audio, PowerPoint Presentation & Video, for more information on this work and it’s relationship to my Art Practice. Regards, Prue

Regardless of how I interpret this it was very interesting to watch.

I fear not the woman who can do a thousand different kicks, but the woman who can do the same kick a thousand times

Plot twist: She really really hates that wall.

I mean its cool and all, i'm sure it was exausting, but what is going on? And why not put the paper or "canvas" on the floor instead? Or lower it at least on the wall?
