O-Week 2007
Simon Slee -- Be a Sculpture 2007
Simone Slee,
Sculpture Star 2005, Michael Carr Art Dealer, Sydney |
As part of the Monash University O-week activities, Monash University Museum of Art invited artist, Simone Slee to develop an art project that would engage students and the on campus community.
The resulting project Be a Sculpture 2007, comprised an interactive artwork where O-week carnival participants by were invited to engage with a sculptural prop and literally 'be a sculpture'. Each participant recorded their interaction with the prop, via a self-timed digital camera.
Based on an artwork that Slee developed during an artists residency in Frankfurt in 2005, which was similarly titled Sculpture Star -- Be a Sculpture encouraged participants to ponder the nature of contemporary artistic practice, whilst partaking in an absurdist, performative action.
Simone Slee is represented by Michael Carr Art Dealer, Sydney.
