Description
what if the gallery becomes the land?

what if the land becomes a gallery?

we walk on the land

indigenous methods, indigenous systems of knowledge, are connected to the act of walking on the land

the walking is the writing of our books

(or this is what i'm told)

(but maybe this act of walking is a mere construction, an inter-face, of the colonial machine and these indigenous methods of knowing)

knowledge, and knowing, have to come from somewhere

developed on this land

or, perhaps, developed in the bowels of the island like the 'Dharma Initiative' on LOST

another good question is when does knowing become entrenched in the colonial?

but that is a story for another time

i've been given space at OPEN SPACE to investigate indigenous methods and hows these methods interface with the western gallery......If you want to see (and experience ) this exhibition then you will have to make a commitment to investigating and paying to your contributions to the process

a exhibition is usually three weeks to a couple months (depending on where the exhibition is and how the exhibition has been programmed into the exhibition schedule)

i want to take this idea of 'exhibition time' and stretch it to 11 months... almost an entire yea
