Exp-West

Next Saturday (1 July) I’ll be presenting a new solo work I’ve been working on of late. It’s at an event called Exp-West, which I’ve curated for Sleepless Footscray, also featuring Whitehorse, Maltese Well Monster/Mito Elias/Fina Po, and Deep Sneeze (a new trio of Jen Callaway, Llara Isabell Arena and David Palliser). Fucked up music from the Western suburbs will be flying our flag high in the old Club X shop in Footscray.

Interested and non-interested parties gather at a certain location on a certain date and time, but what is not certain is what may occur and who is or is not participating. What makes this occasion an event and what is it to participate ? Does this mean that whoever happens to be present at that location at that time is a participant in an event marked by the specifics of time and place ? What separates the location and the start and end times from adjacent locations and times ? Where and when precisely are the boundaries of place and time ? Who is cleaving time and place and for what purpose ?

Of the co-occurring actions, stories and trajectories jostling en route which one(s) constitute the specified event INTERSECTION ? 

Propositions for a start to speculative performance.

Facebook event

Stranger: 15-18 December 2022

Stranger is a new participatory event for small audiences devised by Aviva Endean About a year ago, Aviva invited myself and three other artists – Laura Altman, Carolyn Connors and Dale Gorfinkel – to contribute participatory/interactive works to the project. The work has been through a number of creative development phases throughout the year, which I have found highly rewarding, and also quite luxurious in having the time and space to focus on my work alongside such a high calibre of sound/music friends.

Stranger is finally seeing the light of day with a series of sessions for small audience numbers. It might be of particular interest for people curious about creating sound/music themselves in a free environment without traditional instruments, as well as for people more familiar with sound art and improvisation.
