Cleveland has created performance-based artwork since 2010, as if Cleveland was a real person active in experimental art during the 1960s and 70s.
"The Barbara Cleveland project in general looks at the way particular artists are curated, and the way art historicisation works," founding member Kelly Doley said. "I guess it's a long-term project about who is included and who's not."
Three exhibitions cut short by the gallery's recent COVID-19 closure will continue.
The single-channel video work, Bad Timing, depicts members of the collective indifferently performing the clichéd methods of comedy, from slapstick antics to hack stand-up routines.
Three other major exhibitions cut short by the gallery's recent COVID-19 closure will continue, including Freya Jobbins' solo exhibition Return, Tree Conversations and the National Emerging Art Glass Prize 2020 finalists.
The National Emerging Art Glass Prize People's Choice Award will also be extended until July 26. Submit your vote now on the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery website for your chance to win a beautiful Nicole Ayliffe glass paperweight.
