That's where Launceston-based artist and University of Tasmania art lecturer Dr Jacquelene Drinkall will be taking her work, as part of exhibition Word of Mouth.
Word of Mouth was first shown at the art world's biggest event: the Venice Biennale, as a pop-up show.
Dr Drinkall's contribution, called UFO2.0 x N20, plays with themes of telepathy and the paranormal, and the relationship between climate change and aviation. It consists of a several parachutes stitched together, large-scale Ouija boards, a photo of her UFO sculpture, and the costume and goggles Drinkall wears during a performance art element.
"All of my work explores telepathy - I did my PhD on telepathy in contemporary and conceptual performance art," she said.
Word of Mouth shows at Grau Projekt from September 12 to October 26.
