EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Meanwhile pays homage to the collective creative experience. Presenting the works of Australian artist group, Sixfold Project, the exhibition embraces simultaneous art production across disparate geographic locations, time zones and emotional conditions.
Meanwhile features new work from Australian artists, Raewyn Biggs, Barbara Dover, Louisa Ennis-Thomas, Julie Poulsen, Rose Rigley and Jennifer Valmadre, probing and challenging their individual interpretations of time and place within personal philosophical frameworks. At times, shared. At times, unique.
Meanwhile, gallery installation, artworks Barbara Dover & Jennifer Valmadre (2022)
Collaborative work: A crooked line
This assemblage is one of two collaborative works offering a peek into the artists’ studio. Artworks and objects from studio processes, fragments and discards show the artists’ practice in its creative development. These pieces often remain in the artist studio as references for ideas, materials and processes, and are not necessarily intended to become exhibition works, but are a vital part of the artists’ arsenal.
Video work: 60 seconds
This collaborative video work features a collection of candid snippets capturing moments of Sixfold Project members’ lives, studios and processes.
