per.doc is Articulate’s fourth Decade Show, which features some of the performances and associated projects undertaken at APS over the past 10 years. It focuses on performance as the primary component of works which present the live body in relationship to this space and its architecture, both in new performance and in documentation of (artist-selected) performance previously shown at Articulate. How artists realise their documentation has been left open.

Some of the artists who have shown performance works at Articulate during the last decade will show documentation of that work upstairs and in the backroom. These artists are Alan Schacher, Alison Clouston and Boyd, Elizabeth Hogan and Leisa Sage, Emma Wise, John Gillies, Katya Petayeska, Kit Bylett, Linda Luke, Molly Wagner, Rakini Devi, Renay Pepita, Sydney Art Exchange (Corinne Brittain, Eleanor Er, Kerry MacAulay, Anya Pesce, Elke Wohlfahrt), Tom Isaacs

Find their performance works, and the many other performance 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' performances on the ground floor project space on consecutive weeks :

FRACAS TWO 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 TWO shows the work of Kit Bylett, Sue Callanan, Alyssa Clemson, Kiwibull Art, Raymond Matthews, A Legge, Jeni Mulvey, Stefania Riccardi, and Margaret Roberts.

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, Anke Stacker, Maria Alvarado, Brett Anthony Moore, Isobel Johnston + Jude Crawford, 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, Vilma Bader, Kansas Smeaton, Isabella Cooke, Lisa Pang, Anya Pesce and Riley Anderson. Images of artwork appear on articulate497.blogspot.com as it is installed.
