“THREE ADJOINING SPACES WITH MANIFOLD EDGES”
Helen Grogan
29 May → 4 July 2015
Front Space
THREE ADJOINING SPACES WITH MANIFOLD EDGES uses sculptural, choreographic and filmic processes as means to articulate/activate space.
Encompassing the Front Space, Gallery 1 and Back Space galleries, an overlaid SETTING engages the architectural parameters of these rooms as well as the continuously shifting occurrences taking place within them. This project is re-installed intermittently throughout the 5-week exhibition duration. Two live concerts incorporate sculpture-specific, space-specific scores that facilitate observation through action.
CONCERT 1: Saturday 6 June, 1pm
CONCERT 2: Saturday 20 June, 1pm
Performers: Matthew Day, Simon MacEwan, Nikos Pantazopoulos, Geoff Robinson, Charlie Sofo, Anna Varendorff, Isadora Vaughan, Helen Grogan amongst others.
Helen Grogan works between choreography, documentation and critical embedded practice with/within institutions and collections. As an artist, her work engages both public museums and independent spaces, such as ACCA, AGNSW, NGV, Galerie Stadtpark, Rijksacademie, Samstag Museum of Art, Gertrude Contemprary, Knulp, and liquid Architecture. Her recent work on critical documentation cultures includes de Appel Archive (Amsterdam) and The Kitchen (New York City). As Open Practice Studio (OPS), Helen works with other artists and organisations to stage or steward time-based practices. She is Associate Advisor for Liquid Architecture and vice-chair of the DEI Committee for the International Association of Audiovisual Archives (IASA).
