Tiny cuts: porous borders of the lower astronomy

VISITING ARTIST SYLVIE ROSENTHAL Reception: 29 April 2015 6:00pm As an artist, I negotiate between the inheritances of coming up through a trade and conceptual methodologies. I work to destabilize my own identity, activating risk while owning the site of production. Like the earliest mapmakers, I am an explorer oscillating between the polarities of process and concept. The works are propositions. I churn my collection of seemingly disparate fields of knowledge such as history of science, furniture/craft, the natural world, queer theory, and ideas of wilderness. My works come together as an ensemble. The pieces are complete within themselves while connections constellate across them, forming combinations that do not settle into taxonomic classification. Sylvie Rosenthal is a visiting artist in the ANU School of Art Furniture workshop. GALLERY HOURS Tuesday-Friday 10.30AM-5PM Saturday 12-5PM Closed Sunday, Monday & Public Holidays
