Kawing

24HR Art, Darwin

Dennis Bezzant, Jacki Fleet, Winsome Jobling, Techy Masero

This exhibition represents the final phase of the Kawing project, a partnership between 24HR and The Asialink Centre at The University of Melbourne. A group of four NT artists conducted 1- 2 month residencies in Cebu, Baguio, Palawan & Davao in the Philippines in December 2001 and January 2002. During their time in the Philippines the artists exhibited their own work, held workshops, made new work and soaked up local culture in their respective regional centres.

This exhibition is the culmination of the process. Each of the artists has responded in the form of sculptural installation and each has used organic materials, such as paper and cane. Much of the work is also influenced by traditional techniques or materials used in the Philippines and is inspired by social and cultural phenomena that the artists observed during their residencies.

Accompanying the exhibition is an exchange project called Kawing Gawa. This is a small post card installation, which is a response by some of the Filipino artists that the Kawing residents came into contact with during their stays. It is hoped that continuing exchange and dialogue will eventuate as a result of these initiatives.
