Linking the work of Bonita Bub, Sarah Newall and Mary Wenholz is an interest in vinyl as a material component as either medium or support. Although each artist adopts a different approach in their use of this material; Bub, Newall and Wenholz each use the process of constructing a work as the source of inspiration. Sarah Newall |
GALLERY 2 Mark Shorter Who's Your Daddy Mark Shorter’s upcoming performance at MOP projects “Who’s Your Daddy” explores patriarchal modes of power and exchange in the U.S. Australian alliance. The performance will employ the symbol of the golden Tabuk rifle, a version of the AK-47 that was produced by Saddam Hussein for his personal guard. It was also the gun that was donated to the Australian War Museum by the United States Army as a token of gratitude for our participation in the Iraq war. The gun will be presented using performative strategies inspired by the innovations of the early artistic cabarets in Europe at the turn of the 19th century. The interdisciplinary nature of these institutions provided strategies of engagement that broke down traditional barriers between artist and audience creating an environment for social engagement and politicizing art discourse.     |
