the walk



This work was made on the grounds of the University of Sydney between the recently closed Nicholson Museum, and the newly constructed Chau Chak Wing Museum, that now houses the Nicholson Museum’s collection.

The work uses walking to contemplate the space between the two buildings… Whilst in motion I  think about lost or unrecorded information around the museum and the movement of its many objects. By using the medium of a partially recorded, and selectively displayed, performance I am asking the viewer to question information they are being presented with.

Thursday 3rd June 5-7pm - Opening night

'Body Language' looks at the ways culture, language and failure are interlinked with our bodies.

Through each of Jacob Clerke, Fei Gao, Caoife Power and Nani Graddon’s works, aggregate processes draw out parallels within our art: its density, texture, repetition, time, materiality, and its connection with our bodies as we make.

For the purpose of this exhibition ‘Body Language’ acknowledges that we are surrounded by cultural-political markers that hold the safety, health, identity and class of our bodies, often outside of our control.

This exhibition opens a space for vulnerable attentiveness with these concerns, with unpredictable works that seek to expose earnest moments essential to understanding the body and its divergence.
