Transgression - Off the Kerb

Please forgive my transgressions

The opening of Transgression, at Off The Kerb Gallery, has been and gone and I still haven't finished writing about the installation.  

The images below were taken on Sunday, my first installation day.  The ceiling joists had to be found so that the ropes would hang safely.  This was difficult as the old ceiling had sagged away from the joists.  Nick, long suffering, very talented, husband, drilled hole after hole while I held my breath thinking that the ceiling would end up riddled with holes.  

I left the objects hanging with the promise of coming back to adjust height and add scale (the residue from forging steel).  It was the next day that I was told that the oil had dripped onto the floor.  After inspecting the damage I chose to let them drip onto the floor.  The drips just added to the dirty, messy, hands-on manufacture of the work that was suggested by the rope.

Opening on Friday 13 July in Melbourne:

THE DIRECTOR & COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO OFF THE KERB’s NEW EXHIBITION...

TRANSGRESSION 
Curated by Michael Carolan

Transgression is a showcase of 10 RMIT MFA and BFA Fine artists. The curator, Michael Carolan has invited these artists to push the boundaries of their normative practice, and create works that not only compliment,

but clash with one another to respond to Off the Kerb’s gallery setting. The result is not only a celebrated cohesion, but also a subverted one.
