THE BAIT FRIDGE

ABOUT
The Bait Fridge is a performance collective based on Kaurna Country (South Australia), made of a core group of 10 visual artists and musicians, and many other fluctuating members at any one time. We began as a group of visual artists and musicians creating performative painting exercises, painting one another using catapults and leaf blowers. We have been creating under a somewhat unified banner since 2015. Much of our early performance work took place in public space as both commissioned and self-produced improvisational absurdist performances, drawing on Fluxus principles of process-centered art making and using only recycled and found materials. We aim to communicate these values through multi-disciplinary performance experiences for varied audiences, and have performed in a wide variety of contexts including a shopping mall, private birthday parties, The SUBstation, galleries, showgrounds, skate parks and the beach.
