“Gunn possesses, to a profound degree, the ability to suspend contradictory thoughts seamlessly in the same space.” – Alison Croggon, ABC Arts
What if in this room – here, now, with the audience – I created conflict?
In Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster, Nicola Gunn seeks to question, probe and examine power relations and the very function of ‘art’ in a social context – with a hefty dose of activism, satire, and self-awareness.
In Piece For Person and Ghetto Blaster, accompanied live by composer Kelly Ryall, Gunn sets up a space for dialogue with the audience in order to examine the possibility of personal liberation. The work considers conflict and friction as fundamental aspects of human interaction, revealing one woman’s attempt at navigating the moral complexities of becoming a better person.
