Net Work: this is not a group show
West Space, Melbourne, 7 April to 13 May 2017
Net-Work is not a group show, but rather a materially experimental, collaborative project by three artists – Kirsty McNeil, Java Bentley, and Robyn Walton. Their installation is a deliberate engagement with risk: working within strict self-imposed limitations of time, space and transport logistics, and – even more significantly – risking letting go of individual ego to enable a collective approach to the work. What does it mean to pull together to get things done? Their makeshift, provisional installation is to be created in-situ during the week prior to the opening – the artists know what they are doing, but they don’t know what they will be making.
