RECENT PROJECTS
Being of the book
Moores Building, presented by Fremantle Arts Centre
6-7 August 2010
Following its first incarnation in October 2009 as No place like, Being of the book has been presented in Fremantle as a one-on-one performance, held in the oldest building in Fremantle, the former storehouse of the Moores merchant family building. Visitors to the event were invited to choose a book from a small library to be read aloud by Lily. Over 30 books were contributed from people's private collections on the theme of belonging to a place. These included stories of joy, homecoming, exile and adventure, ranging from The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth and Robert Dessaix's Arabesques, to Herman Melville's Moby Dick and The Quangle Wangle's Hat by Edward Lear. Being of the book will be performed on an ongoing basis at various sites.
Border crossings (recent video and sound work)
Conical Inc
17–19 December 2009
Border crossings is a presentation of recent video and sound installations from 2008–2009. It surveys two major bodies of work created over the last two years, First Love and Bordertown. The role of performance in these projects is highlighted by the theatrical intervention in the gallery space, while the excerpts are offered as stand alone works.
Deadman Monologue
Canberra Contemporary Art Space
28 August – 3 October 2009
Deadman Monologue is an adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's short story The Portrait of 1842. In this work a man describes himself entering the room and laying down on his bed. Settling in under the sheets he begins to bemoan the world. Then, with a surly attitude, the deadman tells the awful tale of his ruin. As he narrates the tale of the cursed portrait and the moral dilemmas of being a painter, his absurdist invective unveils the misappropriation of art under capitalism.
