ACP is delighted to be participating in the
Biennale of Sydney from 8 June to 26 August 2006,
curated by Dr. Charles Merewether.
The concept 'Zones of Contact' forms the
framework and organising principle of the 2006
Biennale of Sydney, which will include a range of
artists from around the world practicing in all
forms of the visual arts. 'Zones of Contact' is
about the spaces in which people live in and move
between, the spatial dimensions of cities,
settlements, territories, the land and home. The
work refers to the temporal dimensions of those
spaces, the body, everyday life, places in which
people encounter one another and other cultures and
sense of self and their histories. Working through
visual and sensory forms of reflection &endash;
including painting, drawing, sculpture,
installation, fabric and stitching, photography,
video, film, performance, voice and sound - the
artists explore local and trans-cultural encounters
with the world. They address the legacy and
memories of living within these zones of contact or
seek to define a space in which the viewer may
perceive the contours of an aesthetic utopia.
The Artistic Director and Curator of the exhibition
is Dr Charles Merewether. Senior Research Fellow at
the Centre for Cross Cultural Research, Australian
National University, Merewether has extensive
experience as an art historian, curator, writer and
lecturer.
