‘WUNDER POND’ 10 February – 10 March

tinsheds — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:43:08 +0000

David Capra
Charles Dennington
Hossein Ghaemi
Matthew Tumbers

Curated by Sandra Di Palma

Opening Thursday 9 February 6-8pm

WUNDER POND presents the work of four contemporary Australian artists who create distinctly personal introspective visions.

Working across a range of media, artists David Capra, Charles Dennington, Hossein Ghaemi, and Matthew Tumbers approach their work intuitively, adapting a range of loose, immediate, playful, humorous and apparently disordered styles.

As they create, they explore beyond that which is known or obvious, inviting us into the creation of their abstract narratives and imagined worlds. By bringing together the idiosyncratic interpretations of these artists, WUNDER POND seeks to highlight the role of art as an outlet for the enigmatic mind of the artist and the physical manifestations that are revealed by these visions.

Exhibition runs 10 Feb – 10 March

‘Yarns Between Bubbles’ 10 Feb – 10 March

tinsheds — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:28:44 +0000

Yarns Between Bubbles is a collaborative drawing exhibition that explores both the participating artist’s common interest in drawing as an artistic practice and notions of shared culture. The exhibition uses drawing as a conversational framework to highlight the possibilities for deeper understanding of our cultural and personal identity.

The collaboration takes the form of relaying unfinished drawings from one artist to another in a group of three: the third person resolving and finalising the work. There is no specified subject matter or designated expression of marks, the only requirement is to respond to a given image with a mark.

While the final images attempt to integrate differences as a whole, it is the interstices where one drawing ends and another begins, which carry most weight in the process. It is within this intermediate stage where the given images demand a response, and often, it is the differences in content and in mark making by the various artists, that confront the viewer. According to exhibition coordinator Anie Nheu, the process has facilitated “understanding and awareness of the actions taken following a period of introspection, that has not only been enriching for individual’s practice, it has also been a revelation on a personal level.”

Exhibition opens Thursday 9 Feb 6-8pm

Youtopia Exhibition – Sydney Festival 2012

tinsheds — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:29:05 +0000

Please join us for the launch of Youtopia 6pm on the 12th of January 2012 at the Tin Sheds Gallery.

Youtopia pursues the dream of other spaces and times, of outrageous and fascinating experiences, of the glamour and lights of Sydney Festival through a series of design explorations. The exhibition will showcase the 2011 design conversation between Sydney Festival and University of Sydney’s Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning. The resulting design projects animate qualities shared by Sydney Festival and the University of Sydney: bold, progressive, adventurous, intelligent and excellent.

Opening in the Tin Sheds Gallery on January 12th, the exhibition showcases the application of digital technology by advanced design processes in 3D modelling and scripting environments, and the production of prototypes and models through the Architecture Faculty’s Digital Fabrication Lab.

Amongst these, Youtopia exclusively presents four key approaches towards performative spaces: ‘Phosphorescence of the Sea’ by Sean Bryen, ‘Eroded’ by Oliver Hessian and Iain Blampied, ‘Musical Chairs’ by Ellen Rosengren-Fowler and Renee Blyth, and ‘The Spritz’ by Rachel Couper and Ivana Kuzmanovska. These architectural visions generate captivating performance spaces, mechanism for immersing an audience into a Heterotopian environment, especially produced for you. Kaleidoscopic reflections of reality, unreality, performance, self and the immediate create an other-space where anything is possible. Perceptions are challenged, expectations elevated and audience and performers primed to be transported, to be consumed by the moment – a dome, a theatre, a bar, a spectacle.

Dagmar Reinhardt, Lecturer of Digital Architecture Research, developed the project with a team of researchers from digital design, architectural practice, structural engineering and digital fabrication: together with Dirk Anderson and Eduardo de Oliveira Barata of UFO Sydney, Marjo Niemela of the Faculty’s Digital Fabrication Lab, Alexander Jung of reinhardtjung, Harry Partridge of Partridge Partners and Robert Beson of AR-MA. Postgraduate students of the Master of Digital Architecture worked closely with Sydney Festival Director Lindy hume and Head of Programming Bill Harris on concept developments for three boldly contemporary performance spaces for potential theatre locations: Turbine Hall on Cockatoo Island, Festival Garden in Hyde Park opposite the Famous Spiegeltent and The Quadrangle at The University of Sydney. Conversations with leading professionals encouraged transfers into and out of architectural practice, architectural theory, audio and acoustics, digital fabrication, interaction and mediation, structural engineering, theatre and performance studies, and cultural research. Participants to the design dialogue included Associate Professor William L.Martens, Senior Lecturer Densil Cabrera, Luis Miranda, Joseph Buch, Associate Professor Chris L Smit, Lecturer Simon Weir, Directore Patrick Nolan (legsonthewall) and Stage Designer and Head of Design (NIDA) Michael Scott/Mitchell.

The exhibition features works that represent Australia’s most promising young architectural minds, envisioning the ephemeral and captivating synchrony of an interactive landscapes, invoking the sublime, tracing transitions and spatial flows; offering a quilted lounge and other performance concepts exploring prosthetic folds, swarm intelligence, tetrahedal autopoetics, structural trees, Catenary networks, ‘Mise en Abyme’, phenomenal experiences, and multiple angles of vision.

The exhibition at the Tin Sheds, within the Wilkinson Building and the home of Architecture at Sydney, runs from January 12 to January 26, 2012.
