Barnaby Oliver with Simon Whitehead

Whitehead and Oliver have collaborated remotely for many years now. Originally using the postal service as a means to exchange material between their relative geographical locations, they have now developed an online process of sharing and altering materials as part of a long term commitment. In the 90‘s they would meet regularly to perform together and construct spaces with shared materials. They now rarely meet in person and location and concentrate instead on a process of working and responding with an emphasis on materiality and a constant cycle of alteration. Here the work, though referencing discrete locations, becomes so altered that it appears to hover between places. For this show they will present a live web-based sound/movement collaboration.

Thursday May 7, 8pm, Conduit Arts Initiative, 83 Brunswick Street Fitzroy (http://www.conduitarts.org). Entry $10
