Kudos acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal and Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. They are the traditional custodians of the land Kudos Online operates on. We create, design, share, and exchange our work and knowledge on this important meeting place. We pay our respects to elders past and present and extend that respect to any First Nations people who visit Kudos Online. This is and always will be Aboriginal land.

Kudos Offsite presents torsion. torsion is both a group exhibition and an intimate, sensory articulation of the body. By tracking our physical presence through time, space and language, we contort our bodies to accommodate ourselves. Our bodies are a complex structure of personal histories, cultures, identities and beliefs, which we assert onto visual and tactile forms, creating a dialogue between the body and its actions. In equal parts, the body can both create vessels and exist as one - interrogating and questioning but also inhabiting the spaces that we make for ourselves. 

Folding and unfolding, kneading and moulding, stretching and draping, four artists work across a multitude of tactile mediums to speak to how our bodies are engaged in a constant conversation between personhood and physicality. Through materials that can be manipulated, gouged, acted upon and changed, torsion expresses the body’s innate desire to both twist and be twisted.
