exist needs your help to bring live art to Brisbane this October!
Pledge some clams to receive more than a warm and fuzzy :)

exist-ence is an international festival of live art, performance art and action art to be held this

Cunningham is a founding member and co-director of exist

exist is an independent artist run initiative based in Brisbane, Australia that has evolved from Cunningham’s initial vision: exist’s inaugural international live event “exist in 08“.

exist’s core members comprise further of Melody Woodnutt, Nicola Morton, Thomas Quirk and Robert Millett also includes volunteers who offer their valuable time and resources

exist aims to make spaces where artists, audiences and communities can engage openly; spaces where one can pause; ask, discover, surrender, to being – to existing.

exist holds a range of events – from international festivals, “exist-ence”, to regular local events, “exist-ing”, to cultivate an open and visible platform for live, action, and performance arts through altruistic curation. exist is committed to the inclusion of willing artists that need a space to practice, produce, progress, share, present, and develop work that builds their practice and contributes to a larger dialogue within the Australian establishment of live arts culture.
