CATALOGUE

Articulate's third Decade show emphasises artworks that are time-based in incorporating literal movement into their work via moving image or moving objects. (Time-based works that are better described as 'performance' are the subject of a later Decade show.)

Some of the artists who have shown time-based work at Articulate during the last decade will show documentation of that work upstairs and in the backroom. These artists are  Ciaran Begley, Linden Braye, Bet(tin)a Bruder, Sue Callanan, Juliet Fowler Smith, Laine Hogarty, Noelene Lucas, Anne Mosey, Jacek Przybyszewski, Margaret Roberts, Margaret Seymour, Helen M Sturgess, Gary Warner, Sarah Woodward and Belinda Yee. Find their time-based works, and the many other time-based works shown at Articulate during the last 10 years, scattered among the posts seen here. The exhibition will also show a range of ways in which artists decide to document their work. 

The exhibition will be supported by a catalogue of texts by the artists, as well as a 'new' time-based work by Terry Hayes on the ground floor project space.

Ciaran Begley Writhe 2019 (diagram)

Writhe involves a series of structures that confront the public with contortions of space itself.  Four hanging sculptures arranged throughout Articulate’s long project space hang from the exposed wooden struts of the building.  These heavy works Installed along the middle of the space set up the architectural space as a stage for spatial contortion.  These room dividers delineate new internal spaces and when moving expanding in a rectangular form containing a complex contorting form enveloping the gallery space with danger and intrigue.

The work is a complex reinterpretation of previous work engaging those who know my work with an impossible reconfiguration of known forms with new movements and a departure from the safety of the wall.  For new viewers this work is  a step into the zone.  A landscape of new possibilities and new dangers where the laws of physics and assumptions about gravity give way to a world where space is governed by action, movement and form.  A space where the choices we make become environments for others and comprehension an elusive concept.

In this work I have challenged the limits of my own capacities of engineering and installation to present a work that challenges my own capacities of expectation and experience.  Please join me in this new world.

Opening FRIDAY 3 JUNE - I’M OK, YOU’RE OK #2: Merryn Hull

Saturday 4 June to Sunday 19 June
Opening on Friday 3 June, 6-8pm

I’M OK, YOU’RE OK #2: Merryn Hull and
EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS (curated by Merryn Hull)
Ciaran Begley, Georgia Brown, Camilla Cassidy, Kirsten Drewes,
ek.1 (Katie Louise Williams + Emma Hicks), Stephen Little, James Nguyen

I’M OK, YOU’RE OK#2 and EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS present two groups of work showing concurrently at Articulate project space. I’M OK, YOU’RE OK#2 is a solo show of Merryn Hull’s work and EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS offers a collection of colleagues’ work curated by Merryn. Both exhibitions are positioned as exploratory research relating to Merryn’s PhD candidature.

Merryn Hull’s interdisciplinary practice reflects on the way we connect to the everyday. It does this by exploring objects and ideas configured in constructed environments so that they can be understood in ways discovered by the viewer. The idea behind both exhibitions is that the everyday becomes special if viewed in particular ways. Recognisable objects, both in substance as well as subject are transformed through context into art objects. The objects and materials used in this way give the works a twenty-first century focus acknowledging a culture that celebrates things that are no less brilliant despite their ready availability.

The exhibitions also investigate our capacity to look inwards at our lives. They do this by presenting a series of framed views which provide a kind of evidence relating to our current world while at the same time offering the opportunity to step into another world. They also comment on the nature of contemporary painting by referencing ideas which expand the notion of ‘painting’ as painting in terms of its traditional medium definition; ‘painting’ as installation which alludes to painting; ‘painting’ as photograph which functions as painting and ‘painting’ as video/projection which uses the moving image to evoke painting.
