"The Rest Is Silence"
DEATH BE KIND
Opening: 8th of November 2011
Until 11th of December
Above Image: Exhibition Invitation

"The rest is silence" exhibition has been conceived to create a mass object of skulls as an experiential installation where the gallery space becomes a catacomb or a funerial skull cave if you will. The exhibitions title "The rest is silence”, are the dramatic last words uttered by Hamlet in the final act of Shakespeare’s celebrated play, and perchance apropos for DEATH BE KIND’s concluding show to an eighteen month program of curated exhibitions about death by Claire Lambe and Elvis Richardson.

Death Be Kind:

THE ALDERMAN

Brunswick VIC 3056
Saturday + Sunday 2-6pm

About the exhibition

Framed presents a series of performative video works in which three female artists test their body through a simple action. These works draw upon the history of feminist performance art in order to present what is essentially a performance recorded on video. The change of medium replicates a shift in the subject of these performances. Where seminal performance works from the 1960s and 1970s focused on immediacy, Rebecca Adams, Candice Cranmer and Kellie Wells use video to distance the viewer from the artist and the action.

This project is an exchange between Level and Screen Space and has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.

Fail Harder

2011-05-05T04:53:00.000-07:00

FAIL HARDER delves into the notion that experimentation and failure are key elements to a well rounded studio practice. Often the biggest failures lead to the best unanticipated outcomes. Featuring our nine resident studio artists, the risk of failure is confronted head-on as they spend three days and nights together in the gallery participating in an intensive making frenzy. The community of a shared studio is amplified while innovation and insight into process are highlighted in this year’s annual KINGS ARI studio exhibition.
Artists: Candice Cranmer, Bianca Durrant, Ben Millar, Andy Wear, C J Conway, Lucy Farmer, Fiona Williams, Rebecca Adams, Emma Van Leest

It’s on the shelf in the studio. Occasionally it catches the eye from its place in the corner.
Its an object of intrigue that never grew or one of those dead-end tangents.
Perhaps it was part of the process or didn’t make the exhibition cut.

...yet it lingers...

‘Shelved’ is a collection of these works.
Anonymous and untitled - these works sit beside their fellow misfits
and beautiful dead-ends. Collectively they allude to aspects of the artist process
and experience ordinarily undeserving of exhibition.

Drill at Seventh Gallery

2009-04-17T17:41:00.000-07:00

Above image: digital video still from Drill

Drill is a spacial intervention, a ridiculous one at that. Formally and aesthetically, it is concerned with surface and the tension of its rhythmic, and deliberate destruction.

Conceptually, this video is an exploration of architectural interventions and feminist concerns. It is a seemingly simple narrative pertaining to entropy as ‘a measure of the disorder that exists in a system’.

Seventh -We've Got A Love Like Electric Sound - "What ya gonna do when the novelty is gone?"

2008-11-15T19:27:00.001-08:00

We've Got A Love Like Electric Sound takes its content from the motivations, considerations and sentiment in the making of a mixed tape and its symbolic
place in contemporary culture, and consists of works exploring the transactions between contemporary art, popular culture
and music in a shared cultural space.

Drill at Boxcopy -Queensland

2008-11-15T18:31:00.000-08:00

Literally piercing through meditative tone of the works discussed so far is Candice Cranmer’s video work entitled Drill 2008. This work shows an electrical drill boring through a piece of wax. The video concentrates on the moment of rupture, which is drawn out to the point that the process becomes stationary. The black hole produced by the drill making its way through the wax plays on the perception of the surface of the wall on which this work is projected
