Information
Traci Kelly and Rhiannon Jones’ exhibition presents writing as a dynamic visual and lived encounter grounded in phenomenological and post-feminist perspectives. It focuses on the visceral and subjective production of the writerly and resists the hierarchy of decipherable text. The artists predominantly employ performance and performativity as a temporal mode of making works which span video, installation, photography, sculpture and artefacts. They explore writing-as-object, writing as materiality, the process of writing through the body and the subject invention inherent in writing a subject into being. Works exist in the interstice of documentation, artwork and survey. The exhibition responds to The Glass Tank gallery as a metaphorical aquarium, holding the remnants of past marine life whilst creating a living ecology of research.
