last day: making sense

1300x740x470_MakingSenseWeb

remember i hassled you last week about the last opportunity to see 15 x 15? well tomorrow is the last day to check out making sense, the group show i'm in at craft victoria. curated by nella themelios, it's a collection of artists who make sense of life through remaking/refashioning the everyday (as opposed to the current fashion in huge, grand gestures of the sublime, or neo-baroque).

the work i've done is the documentation (stop-motion) of a process, in which i measure and pattern the gallery space - so as to get to know it on an intimate level - to make it a private space and then to change it in some way through the act of being in it, and re-making it. through changing a small space, this changes a whole building and a whole street, a whole city, etc, etc. this small, intimate act of measuring and being in a corner, then becomes a philosophical act of shifting the public space.

there's also more info about the thinking/process behind it here

it's been a great show to be part of, and thanks to all those who went along.
