*Flinders Street Station becomes a holey new world with Swingers—The Art of Mini Golf, a playable art exhibition featuring nine mini golf holes and any number of untold obstacles.*
*Each hole is created by a female artist. **Miranda July**, the artist, filmmaker and writer who gave us the off-beat brilliance of All Fours goes ‘All Fores’ for the project. **Kaylene Whiskey** sets course, weaving pop icons through traditional Anangu culture. Tokyo’s **Saeborg** brings latex creatures with a cartoonish menace. Expect more twists around every nook, cranny and bend.*
*The roster doesn’t stop there, **Nabilah Nordin,** now based in Los Angeles, returns home to Naarm, reimagining her signature playful and experimental sculptures with a putting twist. **Delaine Le Bas** brings politically charged sculptures and intricate embroidery, and **Natasha Tontey** entwines speculative storytelling through mythology, technology, and alternative histories.*
*And just announced to round out the lineup is Atlanta rapper **BKTHERULA**, Australian film duo **Soda Jerk**, and prolific Hobart-based photographer and artist **Pat Brassington**.*
*We’ve chosen only the most adventurous artists because mini golf’s radical roots go deep. The game was dreamed up by 19th-century Scottish women who were banned from the “real” courses but refused to sit on the sidelines. Over the centuries, it’s continued to be a game for rule breakers, from fuelling a putt-putt craze in prohibition-era Los Angeles (as late-night booze haunts), to being one of the first desegregated public spaces in the USA in the 1940s.*
*For Swingers—The Art of Mini Golf, RISING taps into the subversive history of mini golf with an art exhibition about rebellion and play. For anyone with a curious mind, a competitive edge, or who swings outside the lines.*
*Pick your putter. It’s art that fills the cup.*
