The Block (QUT)

Being Together uses appropriated objects, constructed sculptures and video portraits to explore ideas of community, a recurring theme in Peter Alwast’s work. Relations between seemingly disparate objects are established in unexpected ways, which talk about limit and communion simultaneously. Gold chain making machines belonging to the artist’s father are presented with video portraits of artists from Brisbane’s artistic community created between 2011-12, and the portraits sit in relation to a series of site-responsive floor drawings inspired by the artist’s former mentor, Richard Tuttle (1999-2001). The personal and mechanical are combined in a spatial montage creating a fragile sense of community based on finitude, relation and communication rather than any idealised principle.
