Yield Strength Vernissage Weekend / Special Performance by Brian Fuata

Join us for Brian Fuata's performance work and drinks to welcome the 2026 Adelaide Biennial at Samstag.

Established in Australia’s experimental performance scene (1999-2006) with his autofiction monologues and 20-minute improvisations, Brian Fuata works across visual and live arts via performance, film, installation, email and sms text, social media and print. His practice in structured improvisation is the ‘mediation of performance’ drawn from reading select physical, social and relational features of a given site and context to manifest his live and digital events.

Fuata's credits include: Apparitional resurrect, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul (2024); Untitled (Intermission), ANTI Festival Finland (2022); of a house besieged (proposition tweaked), Art Gallery of New South Wales (2021); Apparitional Charlatan ~ Minor Appearances, NIRIN GIR: Biennale of Sydney (2020)
