Hong An James Nguyen This drawing is a diktat 2012 (day 1)
This drawing
is a diktat. Specifically prescriptive: plastic bags, magnets, helium, Fe3 O4 , tape and beer. Diverting from this idea,
I have attempted to be inclusive. Audience as entropy... drawing as indifference.
If "...Participation is only another word for consumption" *
Then cheers
to that! *Thomas Hirschhorn,

Andrea Baxter Constructed View 2012
Graphite on Paper/Tracing/Acetate.
‘Constructed
View’ considers the architectural space as site and the role of the body in spatial
perception. It questions how we map and interpret a space of existence and how to
create a space of potential. The drawings aim to locate and understand the space
at Articulate. Based in Melbourne I have relied on the vehicle of technology
through the avenues of digital media to build a comprehensive spatial knowledge
of the space I have not personally experienced. Displacement and disorientation
from a physical and psychological viewpoint manifest as an opening up of space,
a dissolving of walls, a composition without boundaries. By disrupting our impulse
to comprehend the space around us, a fractured reality results.
Therese Keogh for when the bank of the dam becomes an island (from Bell's Swamp Project) 2012
(structural pine, ply, paper)
Bell’s Swamp is a periodic water body, resting
northwest of Maldon in the Victorian goldfields. The shallow basin of the swamp
is situated at the intersection of both roads and fenced off areas of farmland.
For the majority of the time the swamp is dry. Lying dormant, it is home to a large
collection of native trees, a few dams, sheep and some introduced weeds. However,
once every fifty years or so heavy rain falls over the area. When the surrounding
paddocks become completely waterlogged the swamp is filled with runoff. As the water
level rises, the three roads that cross at its centre become submerged, the trees
get wet feet and the dams that were dug into the soil during the drought are faced
with an inversion of the relationship between earth and water; the banks of the
dams become islands. see more
Mellissa Thompson Conditioned lines 2012 ( Pencil, cotton, pins, nails)
Initially, the line installations came from
my experiences with sounds and silence. Using line to translate the sound of a place
into a physical form, along with the repetitive nature of its construction, reveals
the interconnection between the audio environment and myself. Over time, my installations
have become more directly influenced by the features of the place in which the drawing
exists. Overall, my work is generated by an experimentation with line and my own
relationship with my surroundings.
