Artists Talk Title: Inconvenient
What are the consequences of transgressive behaviours like living to extremes of
wakefulness or dietary exactitude/neglect, what is taboo in relation to nature and the
environment? Pushing the boundaries has its dangers. What are the limits? What
adjustments can be made that enable us to express ourselves but also to live in
balance with the biome? When the biological system is so complex what difference
can the 'arts' and 'art' making have in teaching us about readjustment, and restoration
about rebalance?
Using change and transformation of the processes, the artist aims to raise the complex
issues involved: making work that is enlightening and stimulating. How will this
projects integrate a working practice and engage the public through participation and
the making process. The artist will explore the ideas within the projects, Change my Mind, Junctures of a Haphazard Kind and Being Human: Seeing Ourselves, looking at the successes and pitfalls of these methodologies.
