Variable Actions
Group show at The Projects in Collingwood October 2009. 
A group of artists, Adam John Cullen, Alice Parker, Boe-lin Bastion, Elyss McCleary, Mark Reid and Sarah Martin used the gallery space as a studio for three weeks, collaborating with ideas, materials, process's and actions. This is some of my work.
"Submitting themselves to a creative experiment, the artists in Variable Action
bring the act of artistic collaboration into the open.
During a residency in the gallery space seven Melbourne artists explore the
variables of group work and the challenges of creative uncertainty. The controls
of the exercise are clear-cut; each artist contributes one material only and for
three weeks the artists work collectively in the space observed by passers by: a
DIY art-play ensues. The process is documented photographically and after three
weeks the exhibition will offer up the remembrances of shared activity and the
eddies of collaborative endeavors.
Like some collective Matthew Barney Drawing Restraint, the creative potential
comes from the restrictions the artists place on themselves. The objects engaged
are a means to interrogate the creative process; the genesis of idea, the testing
of materials, the self-editing- a step forward and a step back. The act of making
is pared back and brought into the public eye for examination.
In the context of post relational aesthetics, where audiences have been
exhausted by the repeated insistence of community participation, Variable
Actions turns the challenge on the artists. The labour of artistic production, as a
give and take group activity that proceeds under the pressure of self-imposed
restrictions, is the subject of exploration.
These artists demand ‘how might we redefine artistic labour?’ and in doing so
challenge the individualism of contemporary society and of the art market."
