CONDITIONS OF THE ABSURD OPENS THURSDAY 4 APRIL 6 PM

Conditions of the Absurd is an installation by Michael Georgetti, opening on Thursday 4 April, 6-8pm at Articulate project space.

A combination of machines, toys and household materials are strung together in an Absurdist fashion to conduct a series of moving situations and moments that portray the deconstruction of painting.

Reflections On The Monochrome - Part 2

Reflections On The Monochrome – Part 2 by William Seeto continues the examination of developments in work with light, space and imagery that explores practice in relation to a pictorial, non-linguistic engagement with Non-objective Abstraction.

As a practising artist for over thirty years, the artist continually revisits visual and kinaesthetic perception, of what is observable but not easily understood. His practice relates to a pictorial, non-linguistic psychological strategy of engaging with Non-objective Abstraction that alters and augments perceptual awareness.

With this new site-specific installation, attention is drawn towards the works own abstracted state, that is, work that can be said to be self-conscious if not reflexive with regard to the extremities of its abstraction. It continues past discourse and understanding of distortion, perception and manners of reading in a wide range of fields that repositioned abstraction in painting, sculpture and architecture.

Exhibition: 4-6 January 2013
Opening: 12-3pm, Saturday 5 January
Open Hours: 11-3pm, Friday-Sunday, 4-6 January

HELEN GRACE - SPECULATION: THE OCTOBER SERIES opening Friday June 29 at 6pm.

When the markets are nervous, does the value of a person rise or fall? How do you price human feeling? Are we more than two-legged cost and profit centres?

Drawing on the language of technical analysis used in finance, this generative work uses bio-data to produce a ‘self-portrait’, utilizing a decision-based emotion capture system. The work is the result of a durational project that maps emotion in the unstable world of global financial crisis. What music does human emotion generate when it is quantified? Can human feeling produce a beautiful set of numbers?

About the artist:  Helen Grace has no formal art training whatever. She is thus a complete interloper in the artworld, but nonetheless has been making and showing work for 35 years as well as teaching and writing and leading others astray. She is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer and new media producer and her works have been widely exhibited in Australia and internationally and collected by the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and in private collections internationally. She is currently based in Taiwan, after several years living in Hong Kong.

Her work has been seen most recently in the exhibition, A Different Temporality: Aspects of Australian Feminist Art Practice 1975-1985,  Monash University Museum of Art, 13 October – 17 December, 2011. She presented the solo show, IPO, at the John Batten Gallery in Hong Kong in May 2009 in association with Mori Gallery, Sydney. Her film/video/new media works include Train of Thought (2006). The Immortals  (2005), Lounge  (2004), Dog  (2004) Ost Offic  (2004), Serious Undertakings  (1983)

DAY 3 OF PLASTIC CITY

TRACEY CLEMENT: PLASTIC CITY - VISIT THE ARTIST AT WORK FROM TUES JUNE 19

Plastic City represents the annual consumption of one individual. The miniature buildings are made from every plastic container Clement bought during 2010; they were stored instead of recycled.

The vaguely sci-fi style of the mini city’s ‘architecture’ is an invitation to think about the future. Plastic City embodies a number of timely questions about the types of cities we want to live in, sustainable practice in urban environments and personal responsibility. Visitors should leave asking themselves, “How big would my Plastic City be?” In this case, bigger isn’t better.

About the Artist: Tracey Clement is an artist and writer. She has exhibited widely in Australia as well as NZ, the UK and the USA. Plastic City is her sixth solo show in Sydney. She has a Diploma in Jewellery Design, a Bachelor Degree in Art History-Theory and a Masters degree in Sculpture. Clement’s work is held in both private and public collections, including the Smithsonian in Washington DC. She is the former editor of the Metro Art Page in the Sydney Morning Herald, and current editor/writer of the blog, The Post Post. Clement also contributes regularly to several magazines
