WAYOUT_blp is planned as a floor drawing marked out on the wooden floor of Kandos’ WAYOUT Art Space building, by arranging into a simple shape, the objects lent by people from the surrounding geographical area. That shape will remain for the duration of the exhibition in May-June 2023, opening 13 May. I am using the personal attachment people have to the object to stand in for the personal attachment people may have to the place where they live.The objects stand in for the location they are brought from and I think of them as together demonstrating a communal regard for place. If you would like to participate, please write to wayoutblp@gmail.com telling us what object you want to lend or donate and its regular location. We will send a reminder closer to the time and find out what arrangements you can manage to deliver it. Margaret is also holding artist workshops (using images and discussion) at art centres in the NSW Central West to explain and encourage participation. The first two are at Dubbo and Mudgee (details above), and others will be advertised as dates are confirmed. Write to wayoutblp@gmail.com to be kept informed. (These workshops are to encourage objects to be mainly from the NSW Central West where the blp will be made, but some objects can also come from further afield as well.) Or you could just turn up at WAYOUT in Kandos (71 Angus Ave, Kandos, NSW, 2848) with your object between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday 9 to Saturday 13 May 2023, but better to email wayoutblp@gmail.com so we know what to expect. Complete your lending agreement in the attached brochure (that will also be available at WAYOUT). Objects brought earlier can be stored at WAYOUT, and arrangements can be made for collection points elsewhere. (Would you like to be a collection point for your town/area and arrange for the collection/delivery of those objects by emailing wayoutblp@gmail.com?) WAYOUT_blp cannot accept more than one object per person, objects that are dangerous, offensive (eg that smell bad or have offensive imagery) or too heavy to move (over 15kg), and prefers objects that are not already artworks. This is included in the lending agreement. - - - - - - - -- - - - - |
