Remnants: fencing repairs and maintenance, January, 2017.

My recent work, Remnants: repairs and maintenance, November 2017, defined and occupied a confined architectural feature of Articulate project space, giving a new and different treatment to the leftover materials.

In the coming project, the materials are predominantly off cuts of hardwood timber from a newly constructed fence, which I will utilise, taking into account the whole of the downstairs space.

The outcome is not determined. In the space of the week, I will explore the relationship of the materials to the architectural form of the space, shifting between attention to materials and attention to the bigger form, one losing itself and redefining itself in relation to the other, with the notion of  'fence' as the returning reference.

FINAL WEEKEND - ARTISTS' TALKS AND FINISSAGE: Perrine Lacroix and Sarah Newall

Artists' talks and finnisage drinks:  3-5pm Saturday 21 January.

Sarah J Newall will speak about Fashist (Summer Wardrobe), her work in ArticulateUpstairs and

Perrine Lacroix will speak about 'Displacement', her residency project in the downstairs project space.

Perrine will speak about the progress of her residency from the first week in which she used light plastic, video and sound to suggest the organic nature of  air and bodily movement through contrast with the regular form of the gallery space. She will also show and talk about the integration of video footage she has collected in her brief time since arriving in Sydney on 1 January. These include footage of trees being felled and woodchipped in Sydney Park to make way for Westconnex, the installing of the Sydney festival, and more. See her earlier work on perrinelacroix.com.

ROOMSHEET 

As part of her residency in Articulate, Perrine Lacroix's project is to produce an in-situ work by letting herself be saturated by space and the city in resonance with the political, spacial and cultural context at the local as well as global level.

For her coming project, she is interested in human "displacements", political, tourist and artistic migrations. How are they conditioned and how do they interact?

Displacement is the thirteenth project space project, a strand of Articulate's programming that began in 2011 to see how artists respond to project spaces as an exhibition practice.  Articulate thinks of it as focusing on the thinking processes that go on in art making, and on the relationships that are formed between artworks and the places in which they are made. It draws on Daniel Buren's The Function of the Studio 1971  which he ended by praising Brancusi (before his studio got moved) for being . . . the only artist who, in order to preserve the relationship between the work and its place of production, dared to present his work in the very place where it first saw light, thereby short-circuiting the museum's desire to classify, to embellish, and to select. The work is seen, for better or worse, as it was conceived. . .
