“Debut Stand”
Lou Hubbard and Alex Vivian
5 Sept → 20 Sept 2014
Debut Stand is a red carpet parade of objects and sculptural assemblages by Lou Hubbard and Alex Vivian.
Teetering between a formal play with materials and a sense of perversity through the suggestive properties of the objects themselves, Debut Stand nods to irrational desires and how they manifest in the objects around us.
Lou Hubbard sculptures and videos examine the dynamics of training, submission and the aesthetics of sentimentality. She subjects basic materials of domestic and institutional utility to acts of duress, measure and fitness - operations that pertain to the disciplinary spaces where subjectivity and knowledge are formed.
Alex Vivian has studied at both the VCA and RMIT and is working on various future projects encompassing ideas about clothing, stench, and material change.
