Sun 11: Sustenance by Oliver van der Lugt

Free 6-9pm

Sustenance is a one-night only exhibition by Oliver van der Lugt. This is what he has to say about it: "Some people would call it art, i prefer to call it a constellation. It encompasses sound, projection, light works, an interactive installation, drawings, objects, photographs and soup. This is a measure of time (travel) (has gently amassed over the course of just under a year of living in melbourne), drawn from/ with what is at hand. Sometimes intuitive/ obtuse/ oblique investigations of environment, syntax, colour, light, texture, rhythm, listening, mapping, narrative, decay. Come along to construct and collapse, bathe in space, play, talk, eat soup, lay on the floor. (and say hello before i leave for japan and europa!)"

Take note of that mention of soup: if you are hungry for eye/ear/stomach food on Sunday evening you know where the action is.

This Weekend

Superceded
Installation and performance by Brendan J Black
Opening 6pm Saturday June 30
Performance 6pm Sunday July 1


"Continuing and elaborating on the themes of 2004's 'These machines are not for sale' exhibition, 'Superceded' is Brendan J Black's latest experiment in constructing an abstract sound lab involving tape loops, contact microphones, homemade 'instruments' and found objects. How these elements interact will be defined by time and space restrictions. Culminating in an improvised performance utilizing the aforementioned odds and ends on Sunday night, 'Superceded' will be open from 6pm on the evenings of Sat June 30th and Sun July 1st."

Forepaw is very pleased to be hosting this new piece of work by Brendan, who may be familiar to many of you as the guitarist in the excellent, injury-prone local rock/noise outfit The Stabs. Come down on Saturday evening to check out the show and have a drink, then come back on Sunday for the performance, which will feature Mr Black and a whole swag of talented collaborators.

Also, please note that 'Superceded' will be up for this weekend only. Don't miss out!

The show will be open from 6pm until "late", and there'll be two performances, one at 7pm and one at 9pm. Please note that that this show is FREE and for ONE NIGHT ONLY, so this'll be your only chance to catch this potentially brain-melting extravaganza.
