Performance 1.30 mins exchange at Firstdraft after dark
http://www.artmonthsydney.com.au/explore/firstdraft-after-dark/
‘1.30 Minute Exchange/Put Yourself In My Shoes’ is about the perception of personal space and interactions between different bodies. In this interactive performance engaging the audience, the participant will be asked to change shoes with me (the artist), while we are both inside a partition. The design of the partition is inspired by Edward T. Hall’s diagram Personal Reaction Bubbles of (1966). In this way I am setting up two layers of personal space. One is the limited space of the partition and the other is inside my shoes. People can exchange their shoes with me or can leave the space to find the person who is wearing their shoes. Feeling someone’s body heat from their shoes could be weird or even unpleasant and the chances that my shoe would fit your feet is quite low. You could like my red glittering Converse more than your old brown loafer. Or not. This performance is a metaphorical gesture of the moment when we meet people and get to know each other. Sometimes we get quickly closer to somebody, other times we do not connect at all. You could meet your love of your life while you are looking for your shoes. Whatsoever!

‘Yarns Between Bubbles’ 10 Feb – 10 March

Yarns Between Bubbles is
a collaborative drawing exhibition that explores both the participating
artist’s common interest in drawing as an artistic practice and notions
of shared culture. The exhibition uses drawing as a conversational
framework to highlight the possibilities for deeper understanding of our
cultural and personal identity.
The collaboration takes the form of relaying unfinished drawings from one artist to another in a group of three: the third person resolving and finalising the work. There is no specified subject matter or designated expression of marks, the only requirement is to respond to a given image with a mark.
While the final images attempt to
integrate differences as a whole, it is the interstices where one
drawing ends and another begins, which carry most weight in the
process. It is within this intermediate stage where the given images
demand a response, and often, it is the differences in content and in
mark making by the various artists, that confront the viewer. According
to exhibition coordinator Anie Nheu, the process has facilitated
“understanding and awareness of the actions taken following a period of
introspection, that has not only been enriching for individual’s
practice, it has also been a revelation on a personal level.”
