Stephen Garrett: Structure (The Poverty Gully Project)
I set out to solve a problem--a structural problem.
I set out to find a site in order to solve this problem.
I walked the land. I followed random directions into unknown territories.
I listened to stories from locals. I read maps and historic accounts.
I measured places in the bush; topographic studies and drawings until I found my site.
I built a structure which provided a solution. It wasn't what I expected.
And the result isn't what I thought it would be.
Structure (The Poverty Gully Project) is supported by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria
Stephen Garrett is the Drawing Program and Studio Coordinator at Monash University in the Faculty of Art Design & Architecture
Laresa Kosloff: The Russian Project
The Russian Project brings together new photographic, sculptural and video works by Laresa Kosloff that are inspired by her recent travels across Russia and Siberia as part of the Jane Scally Artist Award. The artist has videoed a soviet monument in Chita, the remote Siberian town which her ancestors fled and that her great grandfather once presided over as mayor. Other works in this exhibition incorporate items of clothing and footwear to explore Laresa’s long-standing interest in individual agency and human presence. The Russian Project addresses various conditions of looking in relation to the aestheticization of politics, and the politics of the everyday.
With special thanks to ACCA and Peter Jopling QC, patron of the Jane Scally Artist Award.
