Fighting not Dancing :: Scott Harrower
18 May – 30 June 2019
Gallery 3
Official opening: 6pm Friday 17 May 2019
Fighting not Dancing is a photographic and sound installation addressing homophobic violence against men who love men. Scott Harrower's practice led research investigates both personal and historical stories that have been denied and/or forgotten; such as the persecution of non-binary convict and early pioneer relationships, post WWll police brutality committed against gays and multiple unsolved murders that were fuelled by AIDS hysteria of the mid 1980-90s. Through the prism of a violent attack at The Fairground, the artist’s narrative has no ending; rather it poses further questions about religious fervour and the right to discriminate against ‘Others’. The work includes an orchestral collaboration with New York Composer, Ron Nahass.
