This endearingly other art exhibition takes the form of a nine-hole game of mini golf, with each of the holes designed by a leading female artist from around the world – the biggest name is probably Miranda July, who is joined by Kaylene Whiskey, Saeborg, Delaine Le Bas; Natasha Tontey, Atlanta rapper BKTHERULA with sound artist Kate Miller, Soda Jerk and Pat Brassington. Presumably on some level it makes for a cool, weird game of golf, but there is naturally a point to it, which is to highlight the game’s forgotten subversive history: mini gold was invented by 19th century Scottish women who were banned from the male-only ranges of the day.
Curated by Grace Herbert, the exhibition debuted in Australia last year and won praise for its eccentric and imaginitive immersive environments over either an earnest message or being a particularly brilliant sporting experience. Nonetheless and to be clear, you do get to play mini golf.
