Recent group exhibitions include: Glasgow International (UK), M1 Singapore Fringe Festival at Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), CAFKA05X Industria (Canada), Cultural Studies Wien at Museum Quarter 21 and Platform Kunst for the programme of the Japan-European Union Year (Austria). anti-cool’s works explore how people can conquer the boundaries and rules with which they surround themselves.

Leslie Baker’s work is characterized by an interdisciplinary concept, in which she blends heightened corporal expression with image, sound, and text. Her work is articulated through a range of performance states from task-oriented to fully embodied character expression in traditional and in situ performance locations. Leslie has worked internationally as director, teacher, and performer since the 1990’s. [Photo Credit: Logan Curley]
