Event Terre Thaemlitz

Terre Thaemlitz

MONO 30

23 November 2018
6:30pm–9:30pm

Terre Thaemlitz returns once more to the IMA for MONO 30. Thaemlitz will present Deproduction, an investigation into the awkward, uncomfortable, and hypocritical power dynamics behind Western Humanist notions of family, and how they function internationally through processes of globalisation.

Terre Thaemlitz is an award-winning multi-media producer, writer, public speaker, educator, audio remixer, DJ and owner of the Comatonse Recordings record label. Thaemlitz’s work combines a critical look at identity politics—including gender, sexuality, class, linguistics, ethnicity, and race—with an ongoing analysis of the socio-economics of commercial media production. She has released over 15 solo albums, as well as numerous 12-inch singles and video works. Her writings on music and culture have been published internationally in a number of books, academic journals, and magazines. As a speaker and educator on issues of non-essentialist Transgenderism and Queerness, Thaemlitz has lectured and participated in panel discussions throughout Europe and Japan.

This intimate audio-visual performance and Q&A session is a free event with limited capacity. Registrations are essential.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
