Title: TEOK Sydney
What: Curatorial / Artist Residency
When: 2017
Where: Frontyard ARI, Marrickville, Sydney AUS.
Speakers:MACUSHLA ROBINSON, JANET JIN, MASSIMO SANTANICCHIA and MATT CORNELL.

Part of an Artist In Residency program at Frontyard ARI Marrickville, I hosted an independent lecture series titled TEOK (based on a platform The Edge Of Knowledge) in June & July of 2017. Four presentations were made canvassing topics of curiosity and obsession to an audience of writers and fellow artists in Sydney’s inner west. Gusts speakers include Macushla Robinson while engaged in her internship in New York who video’d-in her presentation, while Mat Cornell presented a talk in the driveway of the Art space over the open bonnet of his father’s exposed 1976 Ford Mustang coupe engine. Janet Jin (young lawyer and budding art historian) made a conventional projector presentation on the fetishes that ancient Chinese porcelain wares harbour for their collectors, while Massimo Santanicchia relayed his post-fascist persectives on the geo-economics of our impossible existence on this planet today.

[TEOK is an informal lecture series, where uncommon, unexpected topics are presented in someone’s living room and was established in Basel, Switzerland in 2014 where it continues to host monthly lectures today in independent and ‘off-site’ spaces and domestic settings to intimate, public audiences].
