In what has been described as an ‘extraordinary intervention’, the Australia Council for the Arts has rescinded a $25,000 grant for performance artist Casey Jenkins’ artwork IMMACULATE, citing ‘the potential legal risk [the project] presents’.
IMMACULATE – which has been misrepresented in some quarters as an attempt to have a child in the name of art – is described by Jenkins as a documentation of their attempt to conceive via self-insemination.
