CHAPEL by [M] Dudeck/RELIGIONVIRUS September 7-9/2023 at Graffiti Gallery was a three day durational performance. [M] Dudeck, PhD, (born in Winnipeg, 1984) is an artist and cultural engineer who invents their own queer religion as art. Their project, called RELIGIONVIRUS, has been performed, exhibited, screened and published in over thirty countries worldwide. Their work as an artist and scholar of religion examines the artistic construction of belief systems, using worldbuilding mechanisms of speculative fiction to queer divinity into form. They produce ritual performances, ceremonial techno-sermons, museological installations of invented artifacts, originally composed psalms, scriptures and are currently working on a VR temple.
