| Abstract: | 'A Ragged Gesture' is an exhibition between TC McCormack and Michelle Atherton. The first major presentation from their research and curatorial collaborative project. The exhibition features a constellation of ragged gestures, recognisable in and through a series of artworks in the forms of prints and wall drawings, a large-scale painting, video and animation work, and vitrines featuring a collection of collaged elements. Collectively, the work in this exhibition addresses a counter position, one that manifests itself against the neat formulations of progress and handed down historical trajectories. Speaking to the ruptures of the past and present, in offering points of contention to the state we find ourselves in today. A ragged gesture does not adhere or sit easily within known trajectories; they are, by their character, more impure in their askew glance to futurity. MA & TC are documentarians, reworking signs from multiple genres, disciplines and periods to enable the reappraisal of current structures and phenomena, so something can be shifted, extracted or added. They draw on architectural forms and industrial activity, art movements and philosophical speculations to encounters at the barricades, talk-show conversations, filmic moments and organic ephemeral forms. Works by Michelle Atherton include 'On Demand', 'Wall Drawing' & 'Rock' - See supplementary file for more information. |
