Damp
2 - 25 February
Damp conceived and realised a new installation work for the space, 'It's a World Full of Hurt'.
Since the mid-90's, Damp has become widely known for its series of mythic performances and actions addressing
the complex relationships between art and audiences. These gestures often resulted in comedic and sometimes
violent and tragic ends. More recently the group has constructed impromptu sculptures and installations which
further conflate the journey of the message and its reception.
Damp currently comprises artists James Lynch, Narelle Desmond, Sharon Goodwin, Ry Haskings, Geoff Newton
and Lisa Radford.
