'FERAL is a progressive, overlapping exhibition program of over 60 artists that will be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm between January 9 and February 8, 2015. 

FERAL is designed for artists to experiment with installation or location of artwork in an architectural space that is already altered by the earlier installation of other artists' work and which will be altered again when another group replaces that earlier installation. 

The FERAL project is part of the broader Articulate interest in the relationships artworks form with their locations. It does this by focusing in particular on the contribution that the changing installations of artwork make to the constitution of a site.'

From 27th October to 16th November, six artists: Linden Braye, Dorit Goldman, Anna Jaaniste, Melissa Maree, Margaret Roberts and Kathryn Ryan, will be working in Articulate project space. Cutendpaste concentrates on process rather than product. Cutendpaste documents each artist’s working practice, and hopes to highlight points of similarity, difference and relationship between their processes. Cutendpaste  is an opportunity to discuss, through making, what process is, why its important to each of us, and how this (often private) side of practice can be revealed to a public audience.

 
Opening: Friday, 31 Oct 6-8pm

ARTICULATE TURNS THREE 

'Multi-Grip' | Articulate project space

I'm currently in a group show at Articulate project space.


Open 11am - 5pm, Fri - Sun, July 12 to July 28 at Articulate project space 
497 Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt. NSW 2040. Australia.

MULTI_GRIP is an exhibition of work by artists Connie Anthes, Sue Callanan, Lynne Eastaway, Jane Gavan, Beata Geyer, Lesley Giovanelli, Adrian Hall, Georgina Pollard, Alicia Poppett, Margaret Roberts, Tania Rollond, Kathryn Ryan, Kelley Stapleton, Skye Wagner, Emma Wise and Ling Yuen.

'While the works come from whatever is currently happening in each artist's practice, the exhibition also reflects Articulate's focus on relationships artworks construct with their location. The spatial and physical nature of artworks mean they attach to their physical location in one way or another, and it is this physical relationship, as well as the expected multiplicity of those 'gripping' methods, that is acknowledged in the title.'

Melting Ice, Hanging Net

Kathryn's objects and Alex's sounds combine to form the installation Melting Ice, Hanging Net. Mentored by collaborators, visual artist Alison Clouston and musician Boyd, Alex and Kathryn were given the opportunity not only to work with a different artform but to partake in a collaborative process. Because of this Alex and Kathryn also benefited from the experience of the artist from their own field.

The work took shape from conversations on landscape, process, and materials, hooking into the similarities between the watery sounds of Alex and the sea objects of Kathryn, and the elongated beamed hanging space of Articulate. A defining part of the process was reflecting on the physical object elements of the the sound components (the wires and speakers) and integrating  them within the body of the work.

Alex has captured and manipulated the found sounds of fish frying, ice melting and the overheard recitation of the Ramayana (a Hindu epic) by a man in Varanasi, and joined them with Clarinet and Mbrina samples. Kathryn has used found sea objects, and re-worked found doilies  to catch and cradle the speakers for Alex's ephemeral sounds. the 'live' wires fall and snake along the floor imagining the space's desire to be both under the sea, fisherman's shack, and collector's curio study.

'The small studio' | Gaffa Gallery

 

Visit The small studio

15 - 26 November 2012

Opening Thursday 15 November, 6-8pm

PLATFORM, Gaffa
281 Clarence St, Sydney CBD, NSW 2000
Tel: (02) 9283 4273      www.gaffa.com.au
Open: Mon - Fri 10am - 6pm, Sat 11am-5pm

The small studio was created to house object collections, arrangements and processes, and to be a movable, spatially modest working space. It is a place to hold the material thoughts of practice, and to put them in relationship to changing external surroundings. The small studio marks out an area for practice when space is scarce, and complements the documentation of my larger studio in Pieces of Practice.

The small studio was formed during a cross-art form mentor-ship at Articulate Project Space in Leichhardt, and was made possible by a generously donated packaging crate.

This small studio is actually a smaller small studio than the original started in Leichhardt – unfortunately that small studio was too large for the Gaffa stairway. As the idea behind the studio was that it be easily moved, the studio had to be re-sized. This encounter underlined the relative nature of smallness, the ephemeral nature of my work in general, and the limits that contribute towards defining a practice. So this is the small studio II, and I suppose, now that there are a couple of versions, it is possible there may be more.
