Talking HEADS
An exhibition by Craig Smith
Opening Tuesday evening April 13th, 2010
(Oratory in gallery on April 12th.)
SCA Gallery, Sydney College of Arts
Rozelle, Sydney
Australia
Smith's exhibition will include an installation of photographic 'lyrics' in the basketball court of a former state mental asylum (now the campus of the Sydney College of the Arts) and a live action 'on court' throughout the day on the 12th of April.The exhibition will use both printed and time-based media which combine human-performed oratories with computer-moderated language systems. An installation of small books created by the artist while in residence at ARTSPACE (2010) will be used to create a unique ‘reading’ of lyrical verses featuring didactic and motivational aphorisms. A selection of these lyrical verses will also be included as 2-D printed works installed on the walls of the SCA Gallery. The lyrics in both book and 2-D media attempt to classify the potential and necessity of social engagement in cultural production.
