Raw INGREDIENTS for DINNER

This idea for an exhibition is the most exciting one that I have had for a while! It was brought about by accidental necessity too. Or some would say that I had the creativity to see it as possibility.  As it happened, along with Matthias my son, I was successful in receiving an Australian Artist’s Grant for the planned exhibition in Darwin. It was then that I discovered that it was to be a gallery where…

  • There is no facility for providing you with equipment.
  • We don’t usually keep the gallery open while there is a show hanging.
  • No budget.
  • At that time there will be nobody around. Students or viewers.

So, what would be better than an online exhibition? It will certainly exist but almost completely in virtual space. Since deciding to do this, I visited the Louisiana Gallery of Modern Art in Copenhagen, Denmark. http://www.louisiana.dk/uk/Menu/Exhibitions/Yoko+Ono I discovered that Yoko Ono is one of first artist to participate in internet exhibitions. ‘Yoko Ono: one Woman Show’ is a straight online exhibition presented on the website of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. http://www.artcommotion.com/Issue2/moca/  This was in 1997!

Still, what would come of these humble bits purchased from Spotlight? I guess I was about to find out. Key to this exhibition is the exposed process of ‘making’. It is a lose collaboration between three creative people…each of us artist in our own medium!
