A Queer Curation of Audience Participation

This paper discusses a queer curation of audience participation in the work of Sarah John (AU/DK) and Katrien Oosterlinck (BE). It considers the artist’s strategy, or dramaturgy, and the performer’s ability to incite an emergent strategy as vital aspects of curating a fluid aesthetic, where the audience and performers oscillate in and out of zones of mis-, dis-, and attunement.
