STABLE connotes many things including mental,
physical, environmental, elemental stability and instability; a shelter for
horses; or a bringing together - as in a stable of artists. These ideas are
explored in Stable, a group exhibition by Nuha Saad, Kath Fries, Danica
Knezevic and Fiona Kemp who all share mutual interests in exploring both the
conceptual and material qualities of their practices, working with
site-responsive, experimental and embodied processes. Together the four artists
will generate new interpretative connections to critique the themes of
stability and stables in Articulate project space. Their scope is broad, Nuha
Saad works with abstracted ornamental objects, Kath Fries with ephemeral forms,
Danica Knezevic with durational performance, and Fiona Kemp works conceptually
within her multidisciplinary practice. Materiality will be a central concern in
Stable, as these artists playfully
and thoughtfully push the limits of their practices and mediums.
