Electrical Works

YOU WON’T BELIEVE YOUR EYES!

GALLERY CLOSED MAY 7th & 8th

After three years, power lines on the Gulidford Lane façade of the gallery are to be removed, to enable the installation of the front vertical garden. This will take place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th of May, meaning that the gallery will be closed on those dates.

The greenwall company is the premier producer of modular and custom designed greenwalls in Australia. After more than a decade of research, the greenwall company has developed a product that grows vegetation in the vertical plane. An unequalled product, greenwall can be used like cladding to produce instant ‘greenspace’, both inside and out.

A performance by dub inspired soul jazz artists Curds & Grain will open Daniela Miszkinis’ exhibition ‘Extraction’.

Drawing influence from the music of The Scientist, Mulatu Astatke, Tony Allen & Strata East Records, the band features a sound that evokes throw-backs to classic dub, punctuated by highly syncopated melodies.

The evening will also host an experimental film screening.

Extraction

MONDAY APRIL 11 – SUNDAY MAY 8

OPENING NIGHT THURSDAY APRIL 14 FROM 6PM-9PM
Featuring dub inspired soul jazz by Curds & Grain

Daniela Miszkinis is currently undertaking the Master of Fine Art (by Research) at Monash University.

The network of plumbing pipes carries nutrients and waste. It supports the life of a structure, may it be the hierarchy of a nation, educational institution or a family. Yet despite its role being crucial to the function of the system, the utilities are buried in the walls and beneath the floor of the structure. It is unsightly and disturbing. It is dressed up with the skin of the building and concealed.

There is a sense of fear and unease accompanying an encounter with a house that has been rid of its surface treatment. A house which has been gutted is a disturbing site – reminiscent of a violated body. It is a site of contamination, hidden underneath thick slabs of black charcoal concrete. But the slabs are not fixed; they float like the fractured ice of floes, where foundations tend to shift.

It is in this architecture of utilities that my interest lies. It is an insight into the belly of a huge and overpowering structure, a monumental house with thick impenetrable walls and shut doors, yet an institution of which internal workings fall short of an ideal.
