Sue Austin - Creating the spectacle
Sue Austin

Sue Austin

A ground-breaking, unique series of performances of an underwater wheelchair that leaves traces of its joy and freedom as it flies along through the water with its human occupant.

b-side has the pleasure of hosting one of these incredible live underwater performances. Audiences are invited to watch the underwater wheelchair first-hand, either in the pool or poolside on live screens. Conceived by disabled artist Sue Austin and produced through Freewheeling, Creating the Spectacle aims to generate a widespread public debate about the nature and value of contemporary arts practice shaped by the experience of disability.
