New Tracks
10th – 23rd September, 2012
Opening Night:
Wednesday 12th of September 6.00 – 8.00pm
With more than 120 participants contributing to the collaborative works in New Tracks, the pictures in this exhibition embody collective identity, experience and the common-place.
Co-ordinating artists Annette Simpson and Jack Randell invited their audience to be part of the creation of collaborative 2D works in New Tracks. Creative contributions have come from artists in countries from Argentina to Denmark, as well as regional and metropolitan Australia.
A completely new collaboration will be started on Opening Night 6-8pm Wednesday 12th September. ‘Fresh Tracks’ will feature bird footprints stamped onto paper. Photographed after each participant adds a new footprint, these actions will be made into an animated sequence video. This work speaks to the decline and re-emergence of the endangered species, the Bush Stone Curlew. Participation is free, and is invited under the Share Alike terms of Creative Commons– http://creativecommons.org.au/learn-more/licences
“They manage to organize the multi-faced individual into an aesthetic mass, all the while drawing upon and presenting the comparative histories; creating a framing of experience by combining elements from different spheres of experience in a montage of artistic technique”.
