  • Gallery Central North Metropolitan TAFE (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Gallery Central presents precursor: one piece at a time, a collaboration between Alice Cummins and Andrew Stumpfel.

precursor: one piece at a time explores how an artist works compositionally; the steps taken to create a body of work; from concepts formed and tested, to experimentation and curation of ideas and materials, and including in the journey the many relationships and networks formed along the way.

Alice will engage compositionally and choreographically with the residual objects Andrew leaves in the space. The presence of her body invites potentially new ways of perceiving and experiencing the objects and how they relate spatially and temporally to each other, the dancer and space itself. Dance realizes the temporal nature of form and matter revealing the capacity for being with.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS

  • Alice is present with objects: Mon 11 - 13 Nov, between 11am-12noon and 1-2pm.  

  • Presentation/performance with Alice: Wed 13 Nov, between 1-2pm.

  • Panel discussion with Soula Veyradier, Andrew Stumpfel, Alice Cummins and Andre Lipscombe, Thursday 14 Nov, 2-3.30pm. Moderated by Brendan Hibbert.
