Tamar Dolev
2 OCTOBER 2 - NOVEMBER 2
ARTIST TALK SUNDAY 2ND NOV AT 2.30PM
Tamar Dolev's stencil artworks represent the body as being both beautiful and grotesque. In Tamar's month in the Open Studio Space she hopes to expand her artistic repertoire by creating an installation piece which deals with the body and how it can be pushed and shoved and disoriented. Tamar looks forward to this challenge.

During their residency in the Open Artist Studio, Elin Eriksen and Miles Brown will work together to create a rich, experiential and immersive installation.
"The idea came from meeting a flat and seemingly endless cityscape such as Melbourne and wanting to create a tactile and animated installation that alludes to the experience of nature either as sheltering and concealing or unfamiliar and to be avoided, with the viewer having the choice of entering and engaging or keeping their distance." Elin Eriksen
"We're both artists from who work in fabric and sound installation, but come from opposite sides of the world (Tasmania, Norway). Both of our home towns are places where the wilderness is close at hand. We are creating the imaginary forest we can't find in the city, from industrial materials / castoffs, and found sounds - exploring a psychological space that is at once comforting and unsettling...familiar yet best kept at a distance from. Also we like black things. And forests." Miles Brown
2nd FLOOR STUDIO
Emily Hodge - Until 28 September
Emily Hodge is engaged in the development of a collaborative performance/art installation working with dancer Luke Hickmott and electronic musician Drew Bluetree. The project is inspired by the choreographic 'kinesphere' which Luke has begun to implement through a mentorship program with Melbourne dance artist, Carlee Mellow. The kinesphere is an imagined cube-like structure consisting of 27 points which hold a specific relationship to one another.
This system allows the dancer to be within their body and, via an imagined inhabiting of the cube, outside of their body simultaneously. As a visual artist Emily is investigating how she might also participate with her own constructed kinespheric system. She will implement her own 27-point system that engages with the idea of moving in relation to this imagined geometric entity. The emphasis is on finding new processes, games and ideas which can be fed back into the collaborative process in order to find their translations into sound and movement, and contributing to the collaborative aesthetic.
Emily is in her studio most days and welcomes visitors by appointment: 0435 148 510
