Streetworks: Inside Outside Yokohama

IN2OZ Creative Australia 2008

ARTISTS: Shaun Gladwell and Craig Walsh

CURATOR: David Broker, Director Canberra Contemporary Art SpaceA highlight of the International Triennale of Contemporary Art Yokohama 2005, the work of leading Australian video artists, Shaun Gladwell and Craig Walsh, hits the pavements of South East Asia.

For the first time, Asialink has teamed up with Canberra Contemporary Art Spaces to present the work of leading Australian video artists Shaun Gladwell and Craig Walsh in Streetworks: Inside Outside Yokohama.

While Walsh connects the gallery space to the outside urban environment, Gladwell works in reverse. In different ways both artists have produced work that generates a tension between gallery and the public street. Their emphasis on other opposing values is also highlighted in the exhibition that moves laterally around concepts of performance and documentation, high art and low art, sub-cultural and pop-cultural, staged and real.

"Streetworks: Inside Outside Yokohama" is organised by Asialink and Canberra Contemporary Art Spaces and is supported by the Institute of Modern Art (IMA), the Australia Council for the Arts and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. After Bangkok, the exhibition will travel to Malaysia and Singapore.

This project is supported by Asialink at the University of Melbourne, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Images of Australia Branch, and the Australia Council for the Arts, the Australian Government's arts funding and advisory body, the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments, Canberra Contemporary Rt Space and IMA, Brisbane.
