What Survives: sonic residues in breathing buildings
Performance Space Galleries
Sydney, March 24-April 15, 2006

Download catalogue (PDF 908Kb) Installation Artists: Alex Davies, Nigel Helyer, Jodi Rose |
An exhibition exploring the real and imagined remnants of human presence in architecture. The structures we build bear silent witness to human behaviour—what have the walls, beams and girders absorbed and what sonic secrets can be coaxed back out of them? Does this ephemeral material influence the energy of the spaces we inhabit? Taking inspiration from Rilke What Survives explores the indestructibility of energy and its subsequent transformations and manifestations.
unNatural Selection
Manning Regional Gallery
Taree, March 17-April 16, 2006
Full Catalogue information
An exhibition of sculpture and installation driven or inspired by technology. The chosen works are experiments in re-creating and re-interpreting natural elements and environments through the most unnatural means. The works are animated, almost alive, responding to touch or presence, some sustaining themselves though their own feedback loops, offering different mediated environments for future fantasy habitation.
Artists: Melanie Foster, Matt Gardiner, Daniel Green, Robin Petterd, Jasper Streit
