Mick Douglas

Mick Douglas is an artist, curator, writer and initiator of projects that often explore mobility and create conditions for experimental modes of creative practice. Projects where he straddles these roles include his socially engaged public projects ‘W-11 Tram: an art of journeys’, commissioned by the cultural festival of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, and the ongoing 'tramjatra: imagining Melbourne and Kolkata by tramways'. Recent collective creative process-driven projects include ‘PPPPP’, and ‘Shuttle’, a mobile performance research initiative through North American deserts. His three-part series of solo durational performance installations ‘Container Walk’, ‘Carriage’ and ‘Return’ (2013-15), were presented by the Performance Arcade Wellington and New Zealand Festival. In addition to initiating Performing Mobiliities as the Australian contribution to the globally distributed Performance Studies international 2015 Fluid States series, he has contributed performance works to the events in Croatia, Bahamas, Rarotonga Cook Islands, and Tohoku Japan. Mick supervises doctoral performative creative practice research with Pflab in the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT University.
