Brisbane artists Catherine or Kate discuss re-appraisals of the value and functions of collaboration in the visual arts, with exhibiting duo Clark Beaumont. The discussion is joined by video responses from Anna Clawson & Nicole Ward (UK), John Wood & Paul Harrison (UK), Tully Arnot & Charles Dennington (Sydney/Berlin) and Non Grata (Estonia), collaborators encountered by Catherine or Kate on their travels over the last 3 years.

Hope to see you there!

Car tactics

Back in Brisbane and preparing for a few new projects - including our Mazda Residency which finally kicks off in November. See below for some car 'research' images from our recent trip to the UK:

Mother Courage (2012), a supreme work we encountered at Documenta 13 by Warwick Thornton.

Good reports

Kate and her average contents getting off the train in Belgium. We heard good reports about the Jimmie Durham show at MHKA. Those reports turned out to be true:

  

Jimmie Durham.  Smashing, 1994.

Jimmie Durham. Second Life, 2010.

 The book on the table: "Games and Sports in the Army".

Sometimes table tennis helps

Being in the studio isn't always good for us. Intervals involving table tennis and remote-controlled clay cars are legitimate and should be encouraged for the sake of a healthy and productive collaboration. 

Spike Island

Some images from our time in the Plenderleith Scantlebury workshop assisting Mark & Lisa with some car model making. The models are for Harrison & Woods next big project.

 

 

Tally-ho

We're leaving for the UK shortly and won't be back until October, not long enough you say? Here's some Gilbert & George patriotism to keep us (and you) in the British spirit:

On Hiatus

THANKS to our generous Sea-faring supporters we have reached our Pozible campaign target ( and with a few days to spare). Any additional funds raised between now and the cut off date will go towards the return costs of Geiri's work to Iceland. Join us for a beer on opening night this Wednesday (Metro Arts, level 2, 109 Edward St). A few teaser install shots below:

Studio 2012

2012 is going to be a good year! We'll be spending August in the UK alongside our favourite duo John Wood & Paul Harrison. You can check out their fancy new webpage here. 

We're also in the process of setting up our studio at Metro Arts and you're welcome to visit us for tea, coffee and/or bouts of bad humour. We moved in a few weeks back and out of sheer enthusiasm bought 6 chairs and a ceramic frog plant pot.
