Order/Disorder

Helen Johnson - Dong Woo Kang - Andrew Liversidge - Greg Penn - Thea Rechner
Anthony Sawrey - Michelle Tran
Order/Disorder is an experimental exploration into a common thread of a disparate group of artists.
Each artist was asked to write three words to describe their practice.
From this process we identified recurring themes, the most common being order and disorder.
Oddly enough, our process itself for finding a unifying theme as a group, re-stated the predominant theme
order/disorder in its execution.
Responding in a range of media, each artist explores shifting states of reality and thought provoking
subject matter to challenge the viewer in a time of chaos and new world orders.
All artists are currently undertaking Masters of Fine Art by Research at VCA.

Rhythm Code
Kent Wilson
Rhythm Code is an installation that explores the relationship between nature and culture.
Taking a more participatory approach to art making, the work assembles a collective garden of pot plants, each donated by a volunteer, together with a symphonic ensemble of vocal humming, consisting of a tonal note sampled from each volunteer participant.
The collective nature of the work is designed to hint at the networked pattern of both the natural environment, as ecosystem, and the cultural environment, as society.
Mediated by a technological composition Rhythm Code asks whether our cultural forms can serve to illuminate a new understanding of nature and whether our engagements with nature can inform our understanding of our current cultural constructions.

GROW UP
Sylvia Jeffriess and Rosie Kavanavoch
Sylvia Jeffriess and Rosie Kavanavoch present GROW UP, a two-man show focussing on the vacuous nature of the cliche.
Jeffriess comic style grotesquesness bound together with visual and textual inuendos steam up alongside Rosie's rocket-fuelled collages, and signature visual backdrops that seem forever submerged in their own autobiography!
Arm in arm they come together to what...?
To generate activity, to elaborate on the concept of individual power and their collective force of art, its alluring benefits, temptations and somewhat rocky marriage.

Odalisque
Bernadette Keys
At least one third of our lives is spent in bed.
It is the site for birth, death, sex, dreams, rest, insomnia, nightmares, thought,
conversation, infirmary, intimacy and peace.
Bernadette Keys video installation is both an ironic take on the tradition of the reclining nude (Odalisque) in art
and a commentary on the impact of screen technology in the 21st century.
Gallery 3
Silent Past
Micheal Carver
Silent Past is a glimpse into the history of the unnoccupied buildings at the Abbotsford Convent.
The images were all shot on a large format camera to preserve the attention to detail that went into the site when it was in operation. After admiring the architecture and marvelling at the historical significance, most of the spaces only seem to evoke thoughts of what the occupants where there for and if choice was something they had.
