Artsider artists Dorit Goldman, Janine Bailey, Melissa Maree
Curator Libby Elisabeth Warren
The Artsider collective is a group of artists whose spatial and performative work implies a mix of chaos, action and methodical control.
Artsider presents the backstage of the artistic process and practice. It will create temporal artefacts and spaces that change, evolve and mutate for the duration of its space inhabitancy. It aims to eliminate the disconnection of artists and their process from the work they do, and to re-establish the art object as artist and orchestrator of space.
Each day the artists will come to work 9-5 for the duration of their inhabitancy of Articulate project space. Their labour will be documented and next day that documentation will be projected to contrast existing and past space-time. Artsider's project is to investigate the liminal space between live and documented performance, static and active art objects, creation and destruction so as to explore the labour that artists invest in artwork.

Janine Bailey confession 2014
Network (2014) and Confession
(2014) are two interactive sculptures that encourage the audience to perform
the basic actions of talking, looking, listening, and standing. Built around
the central idea that architecture and space effects the way we communicate,
basic materials such as plywood, PVC drainage pipe and recycled advertising
banners were repurposed to reflect the artist’s ideas.
Using
GPS technology to document the artist's experience whilst paddling on Sydney
waters and walking throughout the five major sites of the 19th Biennale
Sydney, the artist developed a series of monoprints, drawings and sculptures.
The sculptures provide the viewer with an opportunity to disassemble and reassemble
the work and in so doing create new sculptures. ROOMSHEET

I present to you a very spatial case: It
is the imagination that lets me express these opposing ideas.
It promotes and refers to the idea that
the camera as surveillance, is a form of mainly psychological control, “I see
you but you, see me not”.
Drawing on ideas and theories explored by
Ariella Azulay, an Israeli theorist, in the fifth chapter of her book: the
civil contract of photography argues about the importance of representation
of the female body within misconduct, within the contemporary art world. She
said, in the contemporary world there is an over flood of images but hardly any
in that context.
“Public” and “private” are a big issue
within the debates of gender politics.
My work was done immediately after
my visit to the Kaldor Public Arts Projects: 13 Rooms (2013).
I was interested in the publics and
viewers interaction /experience with in what I named 'The 14th room': that is the main hall was in
itself another room. it is outside the small white “Alice in Wonderland” cubes,
but still within the construction of the architectural space and viewers
domain.
Throughout my work I find my self often
testing borders and personal space, finding within this grey areas of space
often overlooked. It is these in between areas that I take inspiration for my
own work.
It is this space that often becomes “MySpace” for
creativity. I find refuge with in my own installations.

Melissa Maree (b.1994, Australia, Sydney) is a
mix-media/cross-disciplinary artist integrating painting, drawing, photographic
collage, sculpture, textile/fibre, designed object as a collection of
time-based process works/series. Maree's subject interest of the Anatomy
(inside worlds) and cityscape (outside worlds) correlates with her treatment of
objects as an evolving process, as she destroys and recreates her own artworks.
Maree's work investigates the liminal
space between static and active art objects and the practice of creation and
destruction in the everydayness of her art.
