Sydney Contemporary 2019

Multiple Artists

12/09/19 to 15/09/19

Our booth will include a presentation of artists we have selected as part of a curated group exhibition – highlighting an inclination in several of our artists’ practices to look back throughout art history to inform their current artistic statements. These references can be found consistently throughout art history, most notably from the Modernist period, with the works of Sherrie Levine for example - taking appropriation to a more conceptual level. From iconic portraits by Alan Pearson to new works by McGorry, Cachemaille and Holderness, our presentation is a statement of artistic lineage and an undying need to reflect on past artistic merit, paying respect to exemplary ground-breaking artists

The Outer Edge Project: 'Keep Walking Past The Open Windows'

Elsbeth Hill

16/04/13 to 16/06/13

Voyeurism has entered our daily lives in the form of Social networking, the internet and reality television shows. We have become status obsessed, over exposed, information junkies. The global village is now a reality, built in cyber space. The lines between voyeur and spectator are blurred as are audience and artist.

Sian Torrington is a New Zealand based artist who works in drawing, sculpture and installation.

The Outer Edge Project: 'Draw a Line Somewhere'

Elke Finkenauer

12/02/13 to 07/04/13

This work is a reflection on the multiple facets of human nature. I think of it as an anti-monument. Whereas a monument commemorates heroic qualities, the anti-monument celebrates the mundane reality of the everyperson – softness, fluidity, and domesticity, brightness and darkness, solidity and frailty compressed into one whole.

The Outer Edge Project: 'Passage'

Glen Hutchins

04/12/12 to 03/02/13

‘Passage’ explores the relationship between the existing architectural space and painting. The absence of form and representation creates the idea of space and our attention is directed to line and surface. The expressive lines have been executed quickly and intensify the impression of movement and production.

Artist Talk: Anonymous

Kevin Capon

26/10/12 to 26/10/12

As part of Art Week, Kevin Capon presents an onsite artist talk to accompany his latest body of work.

The Outer Edge Project: 'RUTH'

Diane Rimmer

16/10/12 to 25/11/12

In Diane Rimmer’s work, familiar objects such as venetian blinds and old books are manipulated to reveal new shapes. Often surprising, occasionally interactive, frequently playful, the form of the materials changes according to a new function – a play on words or a familiar story. An alternative reality is revealed in the leftovers of everyday life.

The Outer Edge Project: 'Zygote'

Emma Chalmers

14/08/12 to 07/10/12

Kinetic installation Zygote by Dunedin artist Emma Chalmers is a hoax fertility statue playing with several contemporary concepts of femininity and fertility, especially concerning teenage mothers in New Zealand.

The Outer Edge Project: 'Catch'

Isla Osborne

17/07/12 to 12/08/12

Isla Osborne is an Auckland-based artist who engages with the traditional lamp-working process while exploring its potential for contemporary application. Catch is a visual exploration of viral infections and how they spread. Part of an ongoing body of work, in Catch the virus acts as a metaphor for the spread of ideas through communities. There is an underlying concern of the appreciation of truth and wisdom and an investigation of how these can fit into today’s object-driven world.

The Outer Edge Project: 'Light and Day'

Jan Simmons

14/06/12 to 08/07/12

The way we engage with nature’s visual elements is determined by a somewhat fragmented yet continuous way we see and observe. Through distance and proximity, the viewer experiences nature in varying ways.

Outer Edge Project: 'Dispersant'

Meliors Simms

12/04/12 to 07/06/12

Dispersant is a site specific installation considering the use of highly toxic chemicals to respond to oil spills. One such, Corexit, was used extensively in the the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, but briefly and unsuccessfully at Tauranga in 2011. Dispersant is a reminder that the toxic environmental hazards from oil spills last longer than the newsworthy photo opportunities.

Engagement Party

Daphne Simons and Mark ODonnell

27/03/12 to 08/04/12

We have an interest in symbiotic relationships and the outsider/insider perception of art relevant couples. The inseparability and comparability of the two artists is constantly present. Their work, lifestyles and critical interpretations of such, long outlive their physical selves.

Outer Edge Project: 'Pockets of Space'

Colleen Altagracia

08/03/12 to 07/04/12

John Berger wrote in his book The Shape of a Pocket that: “A pocket is formed when two or more people come together in agreement.” Pocketed spaces are also found in clothing often felt by the wearer but are usually not visible.

Outer Edge Project: 'Driving to the Junkshop by the Seaside in search of Aunt Mary'

Sue Pickernell Crow

09/02/12 to 04/03/12

We are used to thinking of forces of evolution and adaption shaping the biological world, and us as a species over geological time. We forget that it hasn't stopped.

From 'Everyday Irregular'

Kevin Capon

24/01/12 to 04/03/12

Fresh from Sarjeant Gallery's 'Everyday Irregular' exhibition is an installation of Kevin Capon's photography in Paper / Project. "Kevin Capon’s photographs elevate everyday objects and events to the realm of the quietly heroic, while at the same time charging them with a simmering suburban tension." - curator Greg Donson.
