August 31, 2016
The Lock-Up Contemporary Art Space
Newcastle, Australia


 
 


The Quadrennial Shaving Performance in Australia was the first shaving in the Southern Hemisphere, 20 YEARS AFTER the first international performance in the Western Hemisphere, the USA (1996). The Lock-Up Contemporary Art Space in the center of Newcastle occupies the old Police Building (1861) with preserved original cells and spaces along with contemporary upgrades. The performance was in the former jail backyard. BRAID#8 was made by Janet Johnson and Camile shaved it off. Curators: Sean Laury, Jessi England Sideris and Courtney Novak.
