Ever ancient, ever new - Rubicon ARI

Ever ancient, ever new

Rubicon ARI 
Level 1, 309 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne
February 22 - March 11, 2017


Tentatively, I unlatch my front gate, chocking it open with a stone.
A little fearfully, I leave my front door wide, and screen door unlocked.
The table set, old wine is left to breathe, and fresh bread to cool,
for all to take, ignore, or savour.

Initially undertaken as site-specific installation upon the ruins of the 13th century Church of the Cross (Korskirken), May 2016 in Oslo, Norway, Ever ancient, ever new explores the effects of an openness to vulnerability, and its capacity to induce harm, humility, and healing.  

Many thanks to Lucia Murnane, Neil Shurgold (Rubicon ARI), and André Piguet (exhibition documentation).
