There’s three projects on my immediate horizon that I need a little extra cash to get over the line …
Project ONE: EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTERS – the website and zine launch. Launching at the OTHER WORLDS ZINE FAIR Sydney, May 23rd, the EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTERS website and zine represent the culmination of my work at recent self-funded residency in Hameenkyro, Finland. During the residency I suspended disbelief and spent time dedicating myself to the concept of designing and building a theme park.
“Emotional Rollercoasters is a site of existential contemplation and philosophical adventure with an aesthetic of mass appeal; a series of interactive artworks that take the form of viscerally experienced, conceptually realised rides. Emotional Rollercoasters sits at an intersection between art institution, museum and theme park and focuses on interactivity and innovation in presentation.”
The website is the IN FRONT OF THE SCENES of the theme park and the zine delves into the cognitive processes behind the scenes.
Project TWO: CONFIDENCE PAD – solo exhibition opening June 25th at LITTLE WOODS GALLERY in Collingwood. Confidence Pad is a light-hearted soft sculptural installation exploring the potent resonance of the object and it’s effect on the psyche.
Project THREE: PERSON WATCH – Public Art project at Federation Square launching June 17th as part of the Light In Winter festival. This project is largely funded through Federation Square. With music by Waterfall Person
“PERSONWATCH is an audio installation and guided thinking safari between your ears with a backdrop that looks just like Federation Square. PERSONWATCH experiments with a fusing internal dialogical realm, constructed from a series of interviews with a number of individuals, each of them individuals. The soundtrack will be spacious and accompanied by low-fi synth pop sounds and some gentle suggestion. The work is interested in the hybrid nature of identity, intercultural spaces and the empathetic possibility suggested by feeling the voices of others as internal agents, through discussion of the popular activity we all love: people watching.”
