Curators: Joel Mu (Soft Glue), Toby Chapman (Sounds, Blue Screen)
The exhibition, Soft Glue – Charlie Sofo & Mary MacDougall follows an awareness of form in art and curating. Working with found and intended materials, and gestures based on personal activity, Sofo presents a single body of work including sculpture, action-based recorded-documentation, sound and a surface intervention. Working directly onto glass, MacDougall presents a series of portrait and ‘photo-realist’ paintings that are finally installed as a glass wall. Her painting experiments are also extended into print-making, producing a stack of individually-touched hand-painted posters.
Sofo and MacDougall are later joined by an extended selection of artists within the exhibitions Sounds: Alex Kiers and Blue Screen: Sarah Jamieson, Bababa International, Christopher Bennie, Dara Gill. These accompanying exhibitions present works that consider how performance and visual material are both put together and carried through the activities of private life and collective organisation.
These exhibitions are presented as part of Crawl1 at Black & Blue Gallery, Sydney, and then Rear View Gallery, Melbourne.
