Image Behaviour 2022

The foreshore of the Thames is an organic, constantly shifting mass – digesting and regurgitating, listening and echoing back. Get It Out The Mud! is an experimental moving image work that acts as a messenger to these slippages through projections, sound and performance. At night, the immersive environment becomes a site for encounters with drag and dance artist OK Norris and a sonic gathering with DJ and artist Ashley Holmes.

Joseph June Bond is the recipient of an Image Behaviour production grant.

Artist Biography

Joseph June Bond is an artist, community organiser and basketball coach. Their interdisciplinary practice centres intergenerational knowledge sharing and collaboration through practical workshops, sports methodologies and open source resources. Bond’s recent research and projects explore bodies of fluid, fluid bodies and body fluids as porous repositories of ritual, movement and sound. They work predominantly within site-specific contexts and peer-to-peer platforms including artist run spaces, online radio and DIY communities. Bond facilitates a weekly, inclusive space for women, non-binary and trans people to play basketball in London.

OK Norris (WET MESS) is a drag and dance artist who works across cabaret, film, performance and theatre. Their live work explores how the structure of society impacts and shapes our identity across bodies, behaviour and adornment. They perform to laughable, grotesque and disturbing ends, through dance, lip syncing, DIY spectacle and dark humour.

Ashley Holmes (b. Luton, 1990) is an artist and DJ based in Sheffield. His interdisciplinary practice combines sound, moving image, performance, installation, radio broadcasts and ongoing collaborative projects. Holmes’ recent work is informed by an interest in the value and potential of music as a research methodology that allows us to think relationally within broader social, cultural, and political discourses and reimagine notions of listening, storytelling, collaboration, ownership, place-making and belonging. Ashley currently hosts Tough Matter, a monthly broadcast on NTS Radio, and also facilitates Open Deck - a series of gatherings giving space to collectively listen and hold discursive space around relationships to music, sound and oral histories.
