Artist Talk + Q&A: Iris Madariaga

In conversation with Georgia Hunter, Iris Madariaga will reflect on the practical, emotional and social aspects of emerging from a 24hr durational performance.

Iris Madariaga is undertaking a Making Space residency at Fabrica 22-26 April 2024 and using the opportunity to develop a 24-hour durational artwork, Public Pause, viewed via Fabrica’s picture window on Duke Street from 12 noon Tuesday 23 April to 12 noon Wednesday 24 April 2024, with small, ticketed audience having access to the space 11am-12 noon on 24 April, to witness the last hour of Iris’ performance.

In this talk with friend and fellow artist, Georgia Hunter, Iris will reflect on the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual challenges presented in creating this work-in-progress piece, including the practicalities of ‘holding the space’ as a performer with a transient audience over 24hrs.
