8 October, Saturday, 3-5pm

JOLTED Courtyard


One performance poet. One audience member. A one-of-a-kind aural experience. 

Situated in the JOLTED Gallery Courtyard, Poetic Flock is an outdoor public art constellation of 8 black tepees, each big enough for just two people. Within each, a brief poetic performance unfolds, a work solely for you – the only other person in the room.

The Poetic Flock is an experiential text and aural exhibit with a decidedly intimate twist – a free-form, immersive art experiment with a rotating roster of local performers curated by legendary performance poet berni m janssen.

Poetic Flock will be running as audiences enter the courtyard, and will continue alongside the opening of the Tactile & Tabulations exhibition in the JOLTED Gallery.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
