Join us for a masterclass led by Australian contemporary artist, Frances Barrett, in conversation ACCA artist educator Andrew Atchison, around Barrett’s project Meatus.
Drawing on her background in performance, curation and collaborative models of making, Frances Barrett has expanded the solo commissioning focus of the Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship to present new sonic compositions and live performances by multiple artists. Alongside a major sound installation developed in collaboration with Hayley Forward and Brian Fuata, Barrett has curated three specially commissioned sound compositions by artists Nina Buchanan, Del Lumanta and Sione Teumohenga, and invited a series of parasitic incursions by Debris Facility Pty Ltd, each of whom have responded to the concept of Meatus. This project was the focus of Barrett’s Curatorial Practice PhD completed at Monash Art Design and Architecture, titled Meatus: A curatorial passage.
This presentation is part of the ACCA Tertiary Masterclass series, which gathers diverse creative practitioners, both artists and curators, to reflect upon the complex challenge of marrying studio and curatorial processes with that of a theoretical exegesis. Presenting artists and curators each share their approaches to developing methodologies for writing about their own and others art and exhibitions whilst in the very process of art-making or curation.
