2 4 F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 TAKING UP SPACE AT ARTICULATE
Taking Up Space is an exhibition that is to coincide with the launch of ‘Future Feminist Archives' by Contemporary Art and Feminism (CAF)’ (March 2015). The launch celebrates the 40th anniversary of International Women's Day, and consists of several exhibitions at regional and university galleries and artist run spaces.
Articulate has a spatial focus and CAF’s focus on an 'archive' of Australian women’s artwork, for Taking Up Space. Articulate made an open call-out asking for contemporary artists to respond spatially to an artwork from the Women’s Art Movement in Australia or from elsewhere in the oeuvre of women’s artwork in Australia (or from wherever the artist is living or comes from). The artwork from the women's archive will be an exhibition in the project space or on this blog.
Artists in Taking Up Space include Anka Leśniak, Anke Stäcker, Anne Graham, Barbara Halnan, Che Ritz, Elizabeth Ashburn, Francesca Mataraga, Georgina Brinkman, Hannah Toohey, Helen M Sturgess, India Zegan, Janine Bailey, Janine Clark, Jennie Feyen, Jill Gibson, Katya Petetskaya, Lisa Tolcher, Loma Bridge, Rox de Luca, Sarah Fitzgerald, Susan Buret, Phaptawan Suwannakudt, Veronica Habib, Victoria Lawson & Vivienne Dadour.

10 F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 HELL-O AT 107 PROJECTS 
Hell-o is a pageant of emerging artists from a range of visual and liberal art disciplines. This multi-arts event has no theme and no underlying, unifying conceptual basis other than the artists exist here in Sydney, and are reacting now to current ideas and events. A stable art exhibition is installed, some works progressively developing through the three week timetable, as workshops, artist talks, poetry slams, interactive pieces and performances pieces celebrate their moment in time.
Sourced from a mix of graduate and postgraduate degrees, this eclectic collective are solely representing their unique and valuable point of view. Themes that explore cross cultural experiences, urban renewal and ecology, contradictions in Australian suburbia or the interconnectedness of everyday life; are expressed within many art forms of today’s creative culture. Our festival is a grand HELL-O to these ideas, and more, as we introduce our emerging artists to our local and arty community.
OPENING: WEDNESDAY 18 FEBRUARY 6 - 8PM
DATES: 18 FEBRUARY - MARCH 8 2015 |
| 6 F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 FERAL | I LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR HAIR  FERAL was a progressive, overlapping exhibition program of more than 60 artists between January 9 and February 8 at Articulate. Each of it's five rotations showed the work of a different combination of about twenty artists. FERAL was designed for artists to experiment with installation or location of artwork in an architectural space that was already altered by the earlier installation of other artists' work, and which gets altered again when another group replaces that earlier installation. The FERAL project is part of the broader Articulate interest in the relationships artworks form with their locations. It does this by focusing in particular on the contribution that the changing installations of artwork make to the constitution of a site.
I Love What You Have Done With Your Hair was my contribution to FERAL 3 & FERAL 4. The artwork utilises hair, as clothing is made from desirable materials such as fur and wool which are socially acceptable animal byproducts, whereas human hair carries a negative stigma. The artwork challenges perceptions of hair and hygiene as well as perceptions towards body hair.
Reviews on FERAL 3, FERAL 4 & FERAL 5 by Lisa Sharp feature thoughts on I Love What You Have Done With Your Hair.
