Bilateral

Here are some quick links to various projects I’ve been working on recently:

Thinking a lot about goats for the project GRUFFLING, as part of the West Brunswick Sculpture Triennale.

Re-doing Allan Kaprow’s Push and Pull: A Furniture Comedy for Hans Hoffman (originally 1963).

Contemplating going off-line for a year.

Working with SquatSpace on the Redfern Waterloo Tour of Beauty (2005-ongoing)

Giving occasional guest lectures and conference presentations on topics such as Expanded Cinema, Re-Enactment as an Artistic Strategy, Relational Aesthetics, Michel de Certeau’s Walking in the City, New Public Art Practices, and of course the odd vanity speech about my own artwork.

Collaborating with Louise Curham on The Teaching and Learning Cinema (The TLC) - in 2007, we re-created the conditions for the experience of Anthony McCall’s Long Film for Ambient Light (1975). The TLC is a development from the Sydney Moving Image Coalition (SMIC). As SMIC, we also toured Anthony McCall’s Line Describing a Cone to various cities around Australia. I have contributed an essay on the TLC’s re-creation of Anthony McCall’s Long Film for Ambient Light (1975) for a forthcoming book entitled Perform, Repeat, Record: A Critical Anthology of Live Art in History, edited by Amelia Jones and Adrian Heathfield.

Working on a practice-based PhD at Deakin University. (A paper I wrote about Bilateral Kellerberrin is here.)

Working with the Big Fag Press (Sydney’s artist-run offset printing co-op). Astoundingly, a print I made on the Press won the Marrickville Art Prize in 2007. It was a map of all the garbage I found on a traffic island in Adelaide.

Recently, several members of Big Fag Press joined forces with various artists, activists and zinesters to purchase a RISOgraphic stencil press, called the Rizzeria.

Writing occasional stories for Barbara Campbell’s 1001 Nights Cast. (By the way, you might also like to check out some of the wonderful stories by Tim Wright and Vanessa Berry as part of that project.)

Collaborating with Lisa Kelly on Feedback Sessions (a model pilfered from the Clubs Project folks in Melbourne). My involvement has been limited recently, and the group (sans moi) has since evolved to “The Free Association“, involving a wider range of enthusiastic participants.
