The final FRACAS coming up

   Open 11am-5pm, Fri-Sun  19-21 February

FRACAS SIX ROOMSHEET

FRACAS SIX completes the FRACAS experiment with exhibition practice that began with  the FAIRISLE,  FERAL, FERRET, FERMENT and FROLIC FREEZE  experiments 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 SIX shows the work of Jane Alexander, Vilma Bader, Kim Bennett, Karen Benton, Sarah Fitzgerald, Em Ingram-Shute, Annelies Jahn, Steve Simpson + Paul Sutton, Lisa Pang, Anya Pesce, Seema Stamou, Teong Eng Tan, Elke Wohlfahrt, Sonia Vuchich, Hannah Wilson, Emma Wise and Riley Anderson.

FRACAS FIVE 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.

design: Kit Bylett 

FRACAS5 includes Walking together along the Edge, which will be held in Articulate's backroom. Teong Eng Tan and Elke Wohlfahrt warmly invite you to take part in ‘The Dialogue’,  based on David Bohm’s writing ‘On Dialogue’. The meaning of the word ‘dialogue’ is somewhat different from what is commonly used. ‘Dia’ means ‘through’. A dialogue can be among any number of people, not just two.  The dialogue will be a stream of meaning, flowing among and through us and between us - out of which may emerge some new understanding, something creative, new, uniting you and all together. In dialogue nobody is trying to win. Everybody wins if anybody wins.

‘The Dialogue’ will be held on Saturdays, February 13 and 20, 2021 from 3pm

Artists participating in FRACAS over its six week program are Lisa Andrew, Pamela Leung, Tara McIntosh, Raymond Matthews, Margaret Roberts, Sue Callanan, Kit Bylett, Jeni Mulvey, Stefania Riccardi, Sadhbha Cockburn, , Kiwibull Art, Alyssa Clemson, A Legge, Michele Elliot, Sue Murray, Mahalya Middlemist, Diane McCarthy + Bruce McCalmont, Anke Stäcker, Maria Alvarado, Brett Anthony Moore, Isobel Johnston + Sue Murray, Lucy Keirle, Julia Hemens, Mia Domansky, Kim Bennett, Elke Wohlfahrt, Em Ingram-Shute, Annelies Jahn, Bettina Bruder, Seema Akhmetova, Jane Alexander, Steve Simpson + Paul Sutton, Isobel Johnston + Jude crawford, Vilma Bader, Kansas Smeaton, Isabella Cooke, Lisa Pang, Anya Pesce, Sonia Vuchich, Teong Eng Tan + Elke Wohlfahrt, and Riley Anderson.

PROXIMITY2020 OPENS FRIDAY 28 FEBRUARY 6-8PM

Open 29 Feb-1 March 11am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday

PROXIMITY2020 ROOMSHEET HERE

PROXIMITY 2020 will show the work of artists who are currently students of the National Art School who have selected this workshop as part of their participation in the 2020 Margaret Olley National Art School Drawing Week, which is the school's warm-up to the start of semester.

These artists are Freddy Anderson-Lingo, Caitlin Broe, Kim Bennett, Ana Butron, Quinn Chen, Yalan Chen, Julia Harris, Luke Kennedy, Sabine Le Tourneau, Sara Mugnes, Jeni Mulvey , Alicja Socha, Imogen Romot-smith, Sophia Ryerson, Calvin Sawada-Jorgensen, Nell Thomson, Lesley Wengembo, Elle Wickens and Belinda Yee. Images of artists' work will be added as work progresses. 

This workshop encourages students to develop a sensitivity to their immediate environment, and to engage with the building and general location in which they work. They will be supported by Articulate  directors, Margaret Roberts and Emma Wise to use the space as a project space, in which artwork is developed in the space in which it will be shown. PROXIMITY 2020 workshop participants plan to work in the space for 4 days, and then open it to the public for the Friday evening opening and the weekend.

Project space work is one of the processes we invite artists to engage in when participating in the Articulate program generally. While many artists show exhibitions of artwork made elsewhere, the project space project program has been devised for artists who want to experiment spatially by devising and/or developing the work in the space in which it is to be shown.
