cheerleading is without spirit (an anagram of Writing This Hideous Replica) was a collaborative writing project by Aaron Billings, Melody Ellis, Zara Gudnason, Jenny Hedley, Tim Loveday, Benedicte O’Leary-Rutherford, Susan-Elin Solimani and Beau Windon. We were in residence at RMIT Gallery during the This Hideous Replica exhibition and public program (23 August - 16 November 2024) curated by Joel Stern and Sean Dockray.
The texts and drawings made during the residency were published as a ‘hideous’ insert for the exhibition catalogue. See more about the exhibition here and download the insert here.
