About Precarious Movements

Precarious Movements: Choreography and the Museum is a research project hosted by the University of New South Wales and involving partner organisations the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW), Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA), National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) and Tate UK. The team members are theorist Associate Professor Erin Brannigan (UNSW), curators Lisa Catt (AGNSW), Amita Kirpalani (NGV), Hannah Mathews (PICA), Pip Wallis (MUMA), Zoe Theodore (UNSW), conservators Juanita Kelly Mundine (AGNSW), Louise Lawson (Tate UK) and Carolyn Murphy (AGNSW), and artists Dr Rochelle Haley (UNSW) and Shelley Lasica, and a network of local artists, curators, theorists and writers. The project brings artists, researchers and institutions into dialogue about best-practice to support both the choreographer and the museum, and to sustain momentum in theory and practice around dance and the visual arts.
