Sue Austin: Creating The Spectacle

The surprising and unexpected film by artist Susan Austin documents her performances in the self-propelled underwater wheelchair which leaves traces of its joy and freedom as it flies along mid-water with its human occupant.

Shown on The Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall this film transforms your perception of the wheelchair as you too become part of the artwork.

Sue Austin's performances aim to generate a widespread public debate about the nature and value of contemporary arts practice shaped by the experience of disability.

Freewheeling is an emerging disability-led initiative dedicated to promoting the concept of disability arts as something of unique society - the 'hidden secret'.

This exhibition includes a recorded audio description of the piece for blind and visually impaired visitors.
