On Sunday we joined the lovely people at Occupy Sydney in martin Place with plans of a performance artwork. People willingly lay on the ground as we traced them with chalk. The silhouettes of those who came to show their support were left: a reminder of each individuals existence.

A taste of what is to come...

2012-01-26T21:18:00.000-08:00

I am in the midst of getting things together for the April Pseudo Space exhibition, tentatively titled 'Interstate Romance', but I am thinking of the title BOXER/CHOCOLATE/SHEET/INSECT/SPACEMAN/VAGINA/COWBOY after a free-associative list of words I wrote down while thinking of the work of the artists that are (hopefully, if all goes well) going to exhibit. I think you will understand my excitement at getting artists from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria together for a show at Pseudo... including (in order of images) Arryn Snowball, Tyza Stewart, Stuart Bailey,
Jack Rodgers, Jess Hall, Helen Rogers, Nathan Corum and Paul Adair.

These are all old works of theirs of course, but as you can see, they are all very exciting early-career and emerging artists. I have assembled them together for their similar relationships with drawing and mark-making... but more on this later, as things like times and dates start to firm up. I am sure that you will be looking forward to this is much as I.

Onward and upward,

-Jonathan.

PSEUDO SPACE JAN 22nd

2012-01-24T01:45:00.000-08:00

Firstly a big thankyou to all the artists and performers whom participated in Pseudo Space on Sunday. Once again it was a great show and we are very happy with what we are achieving in this venture. We had such a great variety of people come along to play with us and experience the fantastic vibe of what is Pseudo!

Even though we had planned to make this show shorter and finish at 8pm (after all a 6 hour art exhibition can be a hard ask!) the crowd was so enthusiastic and our performers so enticing that we ended up running until 10pm anyway.

We've started filming our documentary and have fantastic interviews with all our artists. So keep posted, get involved and support Pseudo!

A big round of applause to all involved.... we can't do this without YOU!

37 Followers and counting...

PSEUDO SPACE opens 4/12/2011

2011-12-19T01:54:00.000-08:00

PSEUDO SPACE had is opening night on the 4 December 2011.The organisers, Verena, Meg and Fleur were happy with the support from people that turned up, friends, locals and passers-by all getting into the musicians such as Fleur des Pirates enigmatic folksongs and her enticing “man choir” and also Ross Symington who played a smooth medley of chosen songs. Luke Calarco also played some great originals within his own ambient flair.

Early in the evening Gwen Rogers gave a heart-stopping performance, and don’t worry, next time I will have an ambulance handy for audience members who had to leave the room. (another entry on this coming up). Reuben Holt dazzled and captivated the audience with his slam poetry leaving us all in stitches calling for an encore. Which was all the inspiration needed for an impromptu poetry reading later on in the evening by Daniel Wild. Verena Heirich performed an interactive exchange with the audience, after she drew all over her body, she submitted herself to the audience who draw on her, she then wrote a word on the persons forehead improvising an emotion or gesture that she was feeling at the time.

There were also some electronically devised installations in the front room, Don Briedly’s camera’s captured the audience as they entered, upside-down, and the projection of blue enveloped the room. Nick Maurer’s work called out for “OB1 Kinobe you’re my only hope” and equipped itself to light up the walls with some radical animated shapes.

In the living room, works revolved around the theme of the body in a variety of mediums including sculpture, collage, ceramics and photography, artists were Rosie Samiya, Ashvini Ray, Barabra Dias and Felicity Brading.

Jonothan McBurnie’s drawings demanded attention with extraordinary detail and skill. And of course Jason Anderson’s Jazz man painting was the perfect backdrop for our musicians!

As the planes flew over Leichhardt and all the alcohol was slowly drunk, it was safe to say that it was a successful event, not only for the great performances and arts shown, but also because of the people it brought together and the anticipation of the next event we knew we would have.
