Swingers – The Art of Mini Golf was today (19 February) announced as the first major production for RISING 2025.
The interactive exhibition will be presented at the Flinders Street Station Ballroom and features artworks by the likes of US performance artist, filmmaker and author Miranda July (whose body of work includes films such as 2005’s Me and You and Everyone We Know and 2020’s Kajillionaire and the 2024 novel All Fours); Australian visual artist Kaylene Whiskey, whose fusion of pop culture and Aṉangu traditions often celebrates strong kungkas (women) such as Wonder Woman, Tina Turner and Dolly Parton; and Tokyo’s Saeborg, whose seemingly bright and playful performance works touch on issues of human cruelty and animal consumption, as well as social issues like nursing and care.
