Title: TEOK Sydney
What: Artist RESIDENCY / Lecture Series
When: 2017
Where: Frontyard ARI, Marrickville, Sydney AUS.
Featured artists/speakers: MACUSHLA ROBINSON, JANET JIN, MASSIMO SANTANICCHIA and MATT CORNELL.
I launched an independent lecture series based based on a platform titled The Edge Of Knowledge (TEOK) established in Basel (CH). Part of my Artist In Residency program at Frontyard ARI Marrickville, the TEOK events (hosted in June & July 2017) saw 4 guests present topics of curiosity and obsession to a captive audience in Sydney’s inner west. Engaged in her internship in New York, Macushla Robinson video called her presentation in while Mat Cornell presented much of his talk in the driveway of the ARI over the open bonnet and exposed engine of his 1976 Ford Mustang coupe. 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. Profiling:
“Short presentations are interspersed with video breaks and drinks, with topics ranging from food to the cosmos, internet memes and personal obsessions, seeking to offer an alternative look at the cultural outputs of the contemporary – and a window into the fantastic, rich ensemble of people that live and work around us.”
