Exhibition text By Georgia Puiatti
Through the framework of a sculptural practice, Beth Arnold works with and responds to sites. A continuing focus of their practice has been developing an expanded understanding of site, where context is crucial and site is positioned as a shifting environment of multiple relations. The sites they are responding to are situated in the construct of the everyday and explore the complexities of the built environment. Arnold’s work considers relationships of temporality, narratives, and intimacy within space. Often subtle in nature, works are generated in the form of installations, performance, and photography.
Fernanda Ureta is interested in each of her works being a symbol of the hard individual resistance to any global power, so she uses common materials to make way for the ambiguous space between what is her own and that other unknown to which she wishes to give light. As a result, her works have in common an unfinished desire for perpendicularity in their structures and a particularity that seeks to reach something out of reach; it is in the bridge between the artist and everything-else that new narratives, forms of communication, and popular as well as individual imaginaries of the surrounding world arise.
Lani Knezevic is an Australian born, Croatian raised artist exploring themes of memory, belonging and (un)belonging. Inspired by the personal and the mundane, they question what it means to be human, to occupy a body – to be a body - through an immaterial practice of video, text and sound.
