Amanda Bennetts catalogue launch and performance lecture
About this event
Join us on the final day of Amanda Bennetts: Fragmented, divided—yet whole for the launch of the exhibition catalogue and a performance lecture by Bennetts that explores digital prediction as a form of bio-depreciation.
Algorithmic Omens: Performance Lecture, 2 pm
In this performance lecture, Amanda Bennetts summons what she describes as the absurdity of the algorithmic omen: the silent digital pivot where a body is reclassified from the lucrative wellness market into a managed-decline segment. Practising from lived experience, Bennetts traces how the body in flux is set on an enforced trajectory of predictive marketing, an opaque rerouting from the transcendent world of optimisation into the colder logistics of bio-depreciation.
Launch of Amanda Bennetts: Fragmented, divided—yet whole catalogue, 3 pm
Published to coincide with the exhibition, this catalogue spans the artist's practice from 2023 to 2026, focusing on works that use time as both material and measure of the body and features an essay by Professor Susan Best, an introduction by Megan Williams, and a conversation between Bennetts and Williams.
Copies of the catalogue will be available to purchase from the gallery shop for $25.
Everyone welcome.
