Fittings and Fixtures
of Distinction - Nicola Kaye & Stephen Terry
Artists Nicola Kaye and Stephen Terry’s work deals with what they
consider a general apathy and disinterest in broader social issues
within contemporary Australian society. Their digital projections,
installations and interactive exhibits focus on social inequalities
in an attempt to navigate the complex interconnectedness of
governments, economics and identity as colonised contexts. Their
current exhibition, Fittings and Fixtures of Distinction, a series
of night projections, juxtaposes images of decoration and necessity.
This show is a continuation of ideas developed in recent works and
presentations in London at the University of Westminster (2009), at
the International Symposium on Electronic Art in Singapore (2008),
in Guangzhou at Sun Yat-Sen University (2007) and as part of the
Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (2007). |

You’ll Never Walk Alone: Sally Stewart
The exhibition You'll Never Walk Alone, the culmination of Sally
Stewart's 2009/2010 artist residency at Spectrum, is a celebration
of kitsch in everyday life, explored through lives of almost a
thousand budgies. Stewart's budgie world is set amongst the clouds,
and revolves around a two and a half meter high Budgie Love Tree.
The budgies can be seen going about their daily business, living and
working in a world where chores - like taking care of the laundry,
and mowing the lawn - are reward by a never ending supply of cakes,
trinkets and flowers to help feather the nest. |

Residency: AIVDT:
UNEXPECTED-microclimates
Anything Is Valid Dance Theatre takes up part time residence at
Spectrum as they commence the second stage creative development of
their new work UNEXPECTED-microclimates, a site specific improvised
work.
AIVDT are exploring the forgotten spaces in a bustling city -
laneways that cocoon us and heighten the senses by isolating and
highlighting fine details and texture. AIVDT will be developing the
contemporary dance equivalent of the hole in the wall coffee bar.
Small pockets of human activity that intrigue and entice passers by. |
