From drawing and durational process, through to live workshops and public performance, Maling's work can best be described by the term  ‘Live Art’. It extends through a broad range of media and is characterised by a formality of composition with a fluidity of outcome. Often appearing game-like, the roles of players and the rules of play continually evolve through individual and collective expressions of what is 'allowed’.  The results can be as simple as a broken tool or as elaborate as a sprawling narrative. It’s about the space between what could happen and what did.

Does the film Muppets in Space have a special place in your heart?

Have you found yourself skirting the issue lately?

Does the incessant mutation and decay of subatomic energy play heavily on your mind?

Do you prefer to go off at a tangent or simply branch out?

Have you ever received a curve ball?

Would it still be the Hokey Tokey if we didn’t turn around?

It could be time to see The Vorticist.

Fuguestate

A collaboration with Melbourne composer Joseph Giovinazzo towards a hybrid 'score' and subsequent live event, loosely based around the form of a musical fugue and the experience of an amnesiac pianist. In production mid 2008.
