A Sixth Column Is A Public Column
August 17, 2019 @ 4:00 pm
As an extension of Wrong Solo’s new work ‘Five Columns’, the artists have invited Chantal Fraser to participate in ‘A Sixth Column Is A Public Column’. Gallery visitors are invited to witness Wrong Solo (Agatha Gothe-Snape and Brian Fuata) and Fraser as they work together in the gallery throughout the day, culminating in a 10-minute performance at 4pm.
‘Five Columns’, is a five-channel video installation, presenting fragments of performed durational improvisations. The filmed performances were originally devised as a five-day workshop; with each day dedicated to a different collaborator or ‘column’. Gothe-Snape and Fuata invited each column to come with an ‘impulse’, used to co-create a situation. The resulting work draws on documentation captured strictly between 4.00 and 4.10pm.
About the work:
“In reflecting upon our practice, we wanted to directly address the soft yet potent relations that continue to shape us. The columns is a project that attempts to make these soft relations visible and even tangible. Through a process of reflection, conversation and practice—talanoa—we hope to draw something out that describes the unique quality of this soft relation, and points to something broader about the complexity and confusion of collaboration.”—Wrong Solo
Five Columns by Wrong Solo is supported by the IMA in partnership with Monash University Museum of Art (MUMA) and Australia Council for the Arts. Find out more about this event on the IMA website here: http://bit.ly/2ODlTI0
