Drawing on her background in performance, curating and collaborative models of making, Sydney-based artist Frances Barrett will extend the parameters of the Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship's solo commission to present new sonic compositions and live performances by multiple artists in 'Meatus'.
A 'meatus' – to which the exhibition title refers – is an opening or passage leading to the interior of the body; a juncture between the internal and external, where the body opens itself to the world. For this project ACCA's galleries are conceived as a form of meatus for the audience to enter; a passage in which to experience multiple voices, embodied knowledges, affective territories, deep listening and relational practice in an immersive and sensory exhibition of sound and light.
Frances Barrett's 'Meatus' is part of Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship, a suite of three new commissions in support Australian women artists working at the nexus of performance and installation, presented in a partnership between the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Carriageworks, Sydney, and the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), Hobart.
Led by Frances Barrett, with Nina Buchanan, Hayley Forward, Brian Fuata, Del Lumanta and Sione Teumohenga. Curated by Annika Kristensen.
