Artist: @sideboer
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Title: ‘Smith Project’ - Two exhibitions (so far) that are concluded as part of the ongoing project
-
ALOFT, IN A TRANSITION STATE (2023-24) is part of an ongoing project that inquires into how we understand individuality in connection to cultures, historic events, and across different generations.

This project began by centralising the biographical writing of a seaman; Smith from the British Royal Navy using key facts and events from their biographical writing to explore alternative perspectives and fresh outlooks on our complicated relationship with the sea.

Conceived as an expanded painting project that examines maritime, navy and seafarer culture, to study its idioms, structures, and as spoken verbally through stories told in domestic bliss. Paintings are developed from associated sources such as fiction, media, family history research, archives, and various takes on the colour blue.

To wrap up this (much better than the last few) year, I'm sharing some communication I did for friends this year.

1-3
Working with @hajimeako to create an identity for his contemporary jazz record label @aloysious_parker

4-6
Working with my old pal @jesselfreeman to create invites for his long awaited solo show at @ultrasupernewgalleryjp in Harajuku, Tokyo. This was a lot of fun, and was Bauhaus inspired from the dividing the square exercises taught during its existence.

7-9
Working with musician and producer @martinjballou to create a series of covers for his forthcoming EP. A LOT of fun creating textures and forms from objects by hand, then scanning and cutting them digitally to arrange on the computer. This is the first of an ongoing series which will continue into the new year.

Speaking of new year... Have a wonderful new year and hope to see your faces, rejuvenated as we embark 2024. taken in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia by @sideboer

Thinking is, or ought to be, a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that. And yet, I've sometimes thought my brain was very calm — frozen calm, this old skull cracks so, like a glass in which the contents turn to ice, and shiver it. taken in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia by @sideboer
