As an artist and arts educator, Gavin Krastin is interested in the body’s representation, limitation and operation in alternative, layered spaces. His performance art practice is inspired by his immediate South African environment and the history embedded in its shifting socio-political climate, with a vested interest in notions of the real, liveness and queerness. The social underpinnings and philosophies of space intrigue him and inspire a questioning of operational systems, thresholds, proximities and the politics of transgressions in his performance art and live art practice.
