Six chrome poems, looped video, audio file of poet's breathing and doom metal.
The six chrome poems read:
a coven of witches ascend into flames
a silver carp sucks my spit-coated tongue
a thousand bats ejaculate from my cock
snakes and centipedes encircle my mouth
the arrows of angels pierce my nipples
the sun descends into the throat of the ocean
Jake Treacy is a curator, arts writer and poet working on the unceded sovereign lands of the Wurundjeri woi-wurrung and Boon Wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation. They are a queer, non-binary person who is interested in radical gestures of love, transformation and healing through community collaboration. Their practice employs numinous acts through exhibition-making, performativity, and the spoken and written word.
They are a University of Melbourne graduate with a Master of Art Curatorship (2017) and Postgraduate Art History (2013) who has previously co-directed an artist-run initiative, sat on grant advisory panels, and written published copy on numerous contemporary arts practices. They currently curate at Incinerator Gallery and sit on the BLINDSIDE board of Artistic Directors, having previously curated across national art galleries as well as non-conventional public spaces, participated in a creative symposia, and performed poetic dissertations. Their current practice and research is informed by dreams, sex, queer mysticism, and doom metal.
