Outlaw-in
For the 2014 McClelland Gallery Sculpture Survey and Award Bozo ink created a scaled down model of The McClelland Gallery. Crash-landed in the Australian bush, the gallery’s belly is exposed, and into it the viewer can poke their head. Continuing our investigation into space, identity and Australian art history we look to the viewer to become panoptic in their view of the gallery and its surrounds, and at the same time the subject under surveillance. We encourage the viewer to cross the threshold from subject to object – to break the sanctity of the object/gallery. Like most of our works the invitations are many, we layer real-time experience with fictional narratives, illusions and copies. As much as we question the integrity of space we ask the viewer to consider their complicity in the history and occupation of it.
