Lucy Benson is a video artist and multimedia designer from Melbourne. Her work explores sensory perception and inner narratives; the way humans process sensory information and the dialogue this creates between our internal and external worlds.
Lucy will be using this residency to develop new video work which will then be installed in the studio upon completion. During the residency she will be testing out her work in progress in the space, as well as displaying a rotation of previous pieces.

THE VESSEL PROJECT
*** Please note: Due to unforeseen circumstances all future dates of The Vessel Project have been cancelled. Guildford Lane Gallery apologises for any inconvenience caused. ***
Curated by Rod Cooper the Vessel Project brings together an eclectic group of artists who will be applying their expertise in performance, electronics, lighting, film and video.
The Vessel itself, is a long boat form with semi -enclosed sound chambers covered in strings, springs, bowing mechanisms, tongs, rods and tubing. The hybrid combines a complex array of sound-making devices all into the one instrument.
An increase in scale enables several artists to preform at once while allowing for other builders to attach their creations to the main stainless steel hull. The vessel’s mast includes a harp and a sail for video projection.
The first installation at Guildford Lane Gallery on WED 17 Dec will feature Australian filmmaker Dirk De Bruin; Rod Cooper on construction, percussion & bowing; Anthony Magen on construction & sound design; Alice Eldridge on Idiophone bowing; Dale Chapman on construction & electronics; Dale Gorfinkle on construction & percussion/strings and John Jacobs on construction & pirate radio.
Doors open at 6pm.
THIS IS A FREE EVENT.
