from the EDGE of SPACES
19 September-7 October

Edwards and Johann’s collaborative work interweaves drawing, painting, performative activities, video and installation with photography. Their images seem both inherently stable yet also subject to temporality. They present a ground in which sensitivities and questions of existence can be played out.
Utilising a range of media and methods in their work, their collaborative approach is a process based research lab. Sole authorship becomes obsolete in the process of making new work and in any of their projects/exhibitions. They have been working together since 2007.

Their works On the Seam of Things  Constellations and Constellations drawing strength record the gradual process of drawing, part of the work’s becoming; a probing and mapping of new territory. Drawing acts like an obsessive caress on the photographic surface, finding form and meaning as motif for the tensions and dichotomies inherent in life. This territory reflects a basic human condition ?to connect, work, play and test the space we inhabit to deal with crises and to grow. The seam is a point of connection but also a space of friction, tension and inevitable fragility. The exhibition is a dark, yet playful space of human propositions to unknown events.
