Quick/Slow Transition

RESEARCH BACKGROUND: Kemp and Fryatt were two of nine artists invited to participate in 'THISNESS' a group exhibition that explored the essential qualities of their nature through the fashioning of their materiality/immateriality. The works exhibited challenged the audience's relationship with interior spaces and interrogated the defining properties of perception. The exhibition as a whole sought to highlight compelling approaches toward the manipulation of our physical environment and to contend the actions that constitute contemporary spatial art and design. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: 'Quick/Slow Transition' examines the production of interiors that is brought about through an engagement by the occupant with implied narratives and urban settings. These spatial scenarios are manifest via the layering and arrangement of scenic devices, including constructed sets, props, and images located in or drawn from the city. The assembly of fragments seeks to activate the role of the participant as author of their own performative experience. This model is part of the researchers' ongoing enquiry into the production of interiors through the use of scenic strategies. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: BUS Projects is a prestigous Artist Run Initiative, funded by the Victorian State Government, through Arts Victoria. Exhibition proposal are selected by an independent curatorial board headed by Nella Themelios and Drew Pettifer. A catalogue documenting and contextualising the works in the exhibition was also produced.
