CLUBSproject feedback session
2nd January 2006
Dear friends, colleagues and acquaintances,
As you might know I am currently working on WITHOUT a project for the front window space of Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces. The project is part of Midsumma – Melbourne’s gay and lesbian festival. As the gallery space is closed during this period some of the activities and objects in the space won't be accessible to a general public due to the windows being covered by a blind like material. A blog: www.with-out.blogspot.com trades in public disclosure/exposure/restraint, exclusion and inclusion by offering a type of unfettered access to the project. I am writing to invite you to participate in a CLUBproject feedback session for this project. The sessions usually take a couple of hours and take place at the site of the work (200 Gertrude Street). For those unfamiliar with this type of feedback session – a brief description follows:
"CLUBfeedback has developed as a form of peer-based dialogue about art since 2002, adopted but also adapted by CLUBSproject inc from its initial educational context. The focus of these sessions is to explore and analyse through conversation the ‘work’ of an artwork: to investigate how an artwork functions, and how it operates within, and in relation to, its context. Attention is placed on the relationships internal to the artwork, as well as the relations that the artwork produces. What we are interested in is an artworks materiality as it relates to and generates conceptual, speculative, theoretical, imaginative, political and social lines of inquiry." (Text developed by Terri Bird and Bianca Hester)
Due to the project being sited both at Gertrude St and on the web it might be valuable for the feedback for the participants to visit the blog-site before attending the session. Another consideration that needs to be taken into account if you are interested in attending, is choosing the feedback session you most readily identify with. As the internal space is reserved exclusively for those who self-identify with a sexual orientation/inclination other than a heterosexual one. There will an internal feedback session in the gallery for those who identify within the broad and slippery category of queer (lesbian, gay, homo, transgender etc. etc.) and an external feedback (on the street front) for those who don’t.
The heterosexual* feedback session will be held on Saturday 28th of January at 10:30am and the queer* session on Friday 27th of January also at 10am. It will be great if you could participate in this exercise. It would also be very helpful if you could confirm your attendance via email otherwise I or the facilitator of the session will be calling you soon. If you think there is someone that would enjoy this process don’t hesitate to pass their number/address on to me.
Hope your Summer is going really well,
Best
