KINGS Artist-Run

co-worm-ing is a process-led collaborative practice with Grey Dear, Joy Zhou and a mobile worm farm. This iteration of co-worm-ing is a series of ‘walking bees’ produced in the KINGS video space as part of the exhibition : as listening.
The gallery was made mobile by kitting out the KINGS Wheelie Bin with a video screen, powered by our car battery.
Working offsite at the Queen Victoria Market, the series explored composting as a method for collective curation, in response to the KINGS Emerging Curator Program.
Drawing from the ethos of a community garden working bee, these sessions invited shared investigations. Each walking bee offered a different collective practice, including video making, embodied research, and writing.
