HooP is a video work by Kate Walker made in collaboration with the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) community in Nelson. It documents members of this community participating in a mass hula hoop event. Swaying hips, circular rhythms and shuffling feet create patterns and rhythms which create an art work about body physicality and visual spectacle.
This art work also confounds the stereotypes of queer communities. What is the purpose of this group? What does their action mean? The ambiguous nature of this art work implies that something else is happening here while also extending the history of video art as a document of community based political or social action.
Floortalk/Performance: Saturday 13 November at 2 pm
Join members of LGBT for a mass hula hoop performance and chaired discussion of this art project, followed by an afternoon tea party.
