04project: installation incorporating a two hour performance generated from an arena of objects, instruments and fragments of found material
context: performed during the opening of line drawing curated by Dr Linda Marie Walker, alongside the work of James Geurts and Julie Henderson on July 14th 2008
site: South Australian School of Art Gallery, July 2008, Adelaide
images: performance stills extracted from a two hour video
performers: John Barbour, Bridget Currie, Bianca Hester, Linda-Marie Walker & Stephen Whittington
notes: implements, actions and a scoring of moments involved the installation of an arena of objects - of bits and pieces cobbled together from past projects - to produce a setting for the staging of actions. A score was developed which involved a sequence of instructions outlining a set of possibilities for engaging each of the implements presented. A score was given to four performers including John Barbour, Linda Marie Walker, Bridget Currie and Stephen Whittington detailing a series of possibilities for engagement with the objects, and with each other.
05project: project projects (London)
context: process-based installation involving a multiplicity of engagements
site: The Showroom, January - April 2008, London
images: sequence stretches taken from a video made during the exhibition
general notes: project projects involved a combined residency/exhibition spanning an eight-week period. Approached as an expanded studio, The Showroom became a site within which to develop structures, furnishings and instruments. These enabled different engagements with others across a number of levels. The project involved a multi-layered clustering of a series of forms and activities – some architectural, some musical, some material, some collaborative, some improvisational, some sculptural. project projects became a situation for hosting and generating a series of one-to-one collaborations with a range of people from Melbourne and London – taking place within the company of, and in response to, a multiplicity of informal structures and transient sculptural constructions. These collaborations involved sound recordings and improvisations, developing sequences of movement, collaborative building processes, and the planning and building of a makeshift raft to navigate down the Regents Canal in London’s East End.
