Anke Stäcker, Elke Wohlfahrt, Liz O’Reilly and Sonja Karl - open from Friday 16 April

                                                            SERIOUSLY VAGUE 

presents

four solo exhibitions:

Anke Stäcker – Random Discoveries

Elke Wohlfahrt – Positively Negative

Liz O’Reilly – Travelling Light

Sonja Karl – Revealing Visions

Anke Stäcker investigates streets with female names in Sydney, Elke Wohlfahrt works with the hardware of analogue photography, Liz O’Reilly plays with the weight of treasured ephemera, and Sonja Karl reveals changing scenes in different lights. 

Conversations between these four artists working entirely independently of one another have uncovered relationships and unexpected dialogues between their work. By deciding to combine individual exhibitions under the one collective Seriously Vague, the artists invite you to look for connections.

FRACAS FOUR ROOMSHEET

FRACAS continues Articulate’s experiment with exhibition practice begun with  FAIRISLE,  FERAL, FERRET, FERMENT and FROLIC FREEZE  in previous years. It presents the exhibition as a changing site by re-contextualising each artwork with new works installed in the gaps left by the departure of works that were installed earlier. This weekly coming and going of artworks is a slow and progressive art-dance, each step of which is seen by coming to each of its six Friday-Sunday iterations until February 22. Opening events are each Saturday 1-5pm.

FRACAS FOUR shows the work of Maria Alvarado, Brett Anthony Moore, Bettina Bruder, Mia Domansky Michele Elliot, Julia Hemens, Isobel Johnston + Jude Crawford, Diane McCarthy and Bruce McCalmont, Mahalya Middlemist, Sue Murray and Isobel Johnston, and Anke Stäcker.

An exhibition by Jan Cleveringa, Elizabeth Day, Elizabeth Mifsud, Marlene Sarroff, Bm Seeto, Anke Stäcker and Elke Wohlfahrt

“It’s not that fast horses are rare

but (those) who know enough to spot them

are few and far between”  Han Yü

This exhibition is a facilitated project that takes place with a short lead-up time for participation; it is a project that is not curated by theme or curatorial recipe. The project provides artists with a space to show work that is free from curated direction, encourages artists to experiment with practice and evolves discourse in artist-run spaces.

Articulate wishes to advise that due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19 and the Federal Government’s announcement of stage 2 closures of galleries and museums, the current exhibitions at Articulate has been cancelled for the last weekend of Friday to Sunday, 27-29 March
