Agatha Gothe-Snape and Wrong Solo: 'Certain Situations'
Exhibition Opening
29 June 2019
5–8pm
This solo-exhibition, Certain Situations, brings together a number of energetic strands of Australian artist Agatha Gothe-Snape’s practice: visual and spatial interventions, score-based improvisation, and collaboration. Text, sculpture, moving image, and performance are organised in into a series of ambient spaces that merge with the artist’s internal monologues, producing a kind of psychic architecture. Acknowledging the performative interplay between audience and exhibition, visitors are choreographed by the spaces and objects they encounter.
The exhibition centres around Five Columns, a five-channel video installation by Wrong Solo—Gothe-Snape’s longstanding collaboration with performance artist Brian Fuata. This new work is supported by the IMA in partnership with Monash University Museum of Art, MUMA, and is accompanied by a series of performative, social, and spatial interventions into the gallery.
At 5pm join Wrong Solo (Agatha Gothe-Snape & Brian Fuata) in conversation with Sarah Rodigari, Brooke Stamp, and Lizzie Thomson, collaborators on the new work Five Columns.
