ARTICULATE

21.4.19

Place and Image opens Friday 26 April 6-8pm

Open 11-5pm 27 April - 12 May

Artists' talks tba

Place and Image shows the work of Linden Braye, Curtis Ceapa, Damian Dillon, Merilyn Fairskye, John Gillies, Yvette Hamilton, Loftus St Projects (Carolyn Craig, Lyn Heazlewood, Therese Keogh and Kat Sawyer), Margaret Seymour and Sarah Woodward.

Place and Image reflects on relationships between the virtual space of the photographic image and the live space in which the image is located. Participating artists are from a range of generations, with art practices that use photography in some way, whether from the position of a photographer or that of an installation or cross-disciplinary artist.

The exhibition is curated by Articulate to show the interdisciplinary potential being explored within artpractices that are sometimes also seen as more discipline-specific. It is also designed to explore ways in which the spatial concerns of Articulate can engage with the photographic concerns being emphasised by many exhibitions around Sydney during Head On.

It also follows on from an earlier exhibition, Expanded Photography, that brought together artists whose work is also in part concerned with these ideas, and also coincide///s with Vsevolod Vlaskine's photo-related exhibition in ArticulateUpstairs, rivers of tomorrow.

Lesley Giovanelli - project space project #15

Lesley Giovanelli plans to work in Articulate project space during 2-22 April as the 15th project space project. See her earlier work at Articulate here.

There will be no opening on Friday as there are currently no plans for Lesley's project space project to be open to visitors at all. This is because the project space project is an experiment with exhibition practice in which artists develop artwork in Articulate project space over a 2-3 week period, leaving any decision about if or when to open it to visitors to later in that period. The purpose is to support the development of artwork that acknowledges the place in which it is located by being conceived and constructed there. It is also intended to protect artists from committing to exhibit artwork before they consider it sufficiently resolved, by planning no opening events or open hours. See earlier project space projects here.

Performature: Performateur

Conceived and led by WeiZen Ho

26-31 March 2019

A collective of installation, sound and performing artists will explore ways of extending their visual and performance boundaries, spatially and conceptually.

In this process they will consider reformulating the language/vocabulary that has been built up around their practices over time. The provocation is to identify and play with the concept of “performature and performateur”, investigating how those terms could shift their approach towards performance-devising.

The collective consists of: Concept: WeiZen Ho; installation artists: Sue Callanan, Margaret Roberts, Kirtika Kain; performing artists: Stella Chen, Ryuichi Fujimura, Nicola Heywood, WeiZen Ho, Phillip Mills, Alan Schacher; Musicians: Laura Altman, Romy Caen, Melanie Eden, Melanie Herbert, Peter Farrar, Luiz Gabriel Gubeissi, Rhys Mottley; film artist: Hina Mir; product design student: Oliver Damian.

The collective mix changes, expanding and contracting over the course of the whole week. Articulate will be open for:

Research days : Tuesday-Thursday 26-28/3 11am-5pm
Actions & Performances #1 Friday 29/3 6-8pm

Actions & Performances #2 Saturday 30/3 3-5pm

Actions & Performances #3 Sunday 31/3 12-2pm

More details to come as the project evolves:

Democratic Engagement is a collaborative exhibition by print artists Evan Pank & Chloe Granato-sing. Utilising their skill in screen printing, spray paint and collage, they will create work that explores the Liberal party’s time in office leading up to the state election. Covering issues such as public infrastructure, lockout laws and environmental issues the artists will seek to create a dialogue with the audience about the city and state around them while presenting their own perspectives with the looming election.

Democratic Engagement runs concurrently with Social Conscience in ArticulateUpstairs, in which Clancy Gibson and Matthew Newkirk explore related ideas and languages.

PROXIMITY opens Friday 1 March 6-8pm

Open 11am - 5pm 2-3 March 2019

ROOMSHEET

PROXIMITY 2019 will show the work of artists who are currently students of the National Art School who have selected this workshop as part of their participation in the 2019 Margaret Olley National Art School Drawing Week, which is the school's warm-up to start of semester.

These artists are Fergus Berney-Gibson, Emily Ebbs, Jessamine Elsarky, Chelsea Fuentes, Emma Hornby, Lucy King, Bella La Spina, Tao Liu, Marita Port, Wendy Miller, Carina Capone, Lilliana Rixon, Babette Robertson, Anoushka J. Solomon, Katie Stewart, Anna Tierney amd Nina Walton. Images of their work will be added as work progresses.

This workshop encourages students to develop a sensitivity to their immediate environment, and to engage with the building and general location in which they work. They will be supported by Articulate directors, Margaret Roberts and Emma Wise to use the space as a project space, in which artwork is developed in the space in which it will be shown. PROXIMITY 2019 workshop participants plan work in the space for 4 days, and then open it to the public for the weekend.

Project space work is one of the processes we invite artists to engage in when participating in the Articulate program generally. While many artists show exhibitions of artwork made elsewhere, the project space project program has been devised for artists who want to experiment spatially by devising and/or developing the work in the space in which it is to be shown.

Steven Fasan's CAN'T LOOK BACK opens Friday 8 February 6-8pm

Open 9-24 February with special opening hours:
3-6pm Tuesday - Thursday, and 11am - 5pm Friday - Sunday

CAN'T LOOK BACK shows a body of work that has been developed over the last couple of years, focusing on the inevitability of change.

One could say that the mechanism of metamorphosis is the only element of life that never changes. The journey of very individual, every country, every historical epoch, of the entire universe and all it contains, is nothing but a series of changes, at times subtle, at times deep, without which we would stand still. The moments of transition, in which something changes, constitute the backbone of us all. Whether they are a salvation or a loss, they are moments that we tend to remember. They give a structure to our existence. Almost all the rest is oblivion.
