Carriageworks’s upcoming exhibition "24 Frames Per Second" is a celebration of dance on screen, blending work from dancers, film makers and visual artists. Three years in the making, the exhibition sees 24 artists commissioned to make 24 new works.
"24 Frames Per Second" is a timely exhibition, reflecting the gradual shift of performance into museum spaces. “'24 Frames Per Second' explores the integrated nature of contemporary art practice which, in recent years, has seen dance and live performance infiltrate the institutional spaces of the museum,” says exhibition co-curator Nina Miall. “In addition, the distinctive spaces of Carriageworks offer a platform that exists beyond the dance studio, black box, or white cube,” says exhibition co-curator Beatrice Gralton.
The exhibition includes a new installation by Sydney-based artist Tony Albert and choreographer Stephen Page which takes the shooting of two Aboriginal teenagers by police in King’s Cross in April 2012 as its starting point. There will also be work from British choreographer Siobhan Davies with film maker David Hinton, French dancer and choreographer Francois Chaignaud and other international artists. Amongst the Australian choreographers involved are Nat Cursio, Antony Hamilton and Aimee Smith.
"24 Frames Per Second" runs at Carriageworks 18 June – 2 August. It’s a free exhibition, open 10am -6pm daily.
