“Operation Margarine”
Corinna Berndt and Michael Ciavarella
27 July → 18 Aug 2012
Operation Margarine explores the poetics and possibilities of collage and collaboration between two artists. For this exhibition, Michael Ciavarella and Corinna Berndt have created two works separately, and several works collaboratively. All works are a response to each other’s artistic practice.
Like a science laboratory for artistic modes, Corinna Berndt and Michael Ciavarella have produced a body of work collaboratively and individually under a specific set of conditions. The artists intend these rules to define boundaries of play and randomness and to highlight the limitations, conscious or otherwise, placed on all artistic practices.
Corinna Berndt is a Naarm/Melbourne based artist who completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland in 2006.
Michael Ciavarella is an artist in Naarm/Melbourne.
