2004
Traces of an action over seven consecutive days: six banners, digital prints
on synthetic canvas, linen loops, pine; two looped DVD projections; trestle
table with acrylic and digital prints on etching paper.
Exh.: NEW04, curated by Geraldine Barlow, Australian Centre for Contemporary
Art, Melbourne, 23 March-19 May;
Seven days presented traces from seven marches undertaken around Melbourne over seven consecutive days, 22-28 February 2004. The first six marches took place at dawn. The seventh took place at dusk, without banners, and was followed by a volksküche.
Seven days is part of Marches for another
season, an ongoing project of banner marches initiated in 2003. The project’s
structure has developed alongside a process of collecting instances of the
creation of national boundaries since 1901. This catalogue of boundaries,
ordered by date, provides a mnemonic system for the banner marches. Each national
boundary generates a line. This line provides a route for marching, so that
each march traces a national boundary by its course through a given place.
The process of marching and tracing is ongoing.
