Good Mourning

In the Good Mourning project  we enacted an improvised mourning ceremony in which each participant brought an object or an idea that they mourned. The parameters of the project were to come in black  and white attire and bring one object to mourn. The choice of the location was  an outdoor space to mimic burial ceremonies.   The concept of this project developed after the idea that artistic production seems to be a constant series of mourning past trends and then resurrecting and moving forward to new artistic styles. In addition as a society we seem to be constantly mourning identity, home, belonging, durable goods, the environment, traditional communication, economic stability etc. Non-pathological mourning becomes a place of deconstruction of such social ideas while as a play keeping an idiosyncratic element where the collective worries melt with the individual experience.

WRAP with shadows

PLAY

Wrap

In this playful, performative intervention we took translucent, colourful synthetic materials  with the aim of creating spontaneous interventions in the suburban landscape. Wrapping bushes and trees, fences, letterboxes, fire hydrants and hard rubbish, we created surprising sculptural forms. Here we used the suburb as a context to explore ideas of containment and release and the joyful process of making art in a spontaneous and intuitive way.

So here we are – a fixed-address for our no-fixed-address projects.

Let’s do this thing. :)
