Arrangement Space

This group shares a common interest in contemporary art, non-objective and the needs associated with creating space using color in the form of painting objects and installations. The group brings together creative personalities, whose

interests include the following phenomena in art: Minimalism, Shaped Paintings, Arte Povera, Environment, Site Specific Ephemeral and Interactive Art. The exhibition will introduce the part of artistic activity selected from the group Painting Arrangement Space / P.A.S./, which was established in the year 2010. The artists to express their needs use different materials, often harsh or any mundane: wood, metal, paper, cardboard, cloth, plastic and textiles. Additionally some

artists deploy techniques associated with deformation and deconstruction of the image. These treatments are a kind of retreat from traditional “ high art “. At the same time in this way, they emphasize the role of the creative thought process.

You can even venture to say that this is some kind of recycling, which in its consequences can serve sparing the environment. The various techniques of painting are: oil, acrylic, alkyd, lacquers, enamels, graphic and mixed. Some of the presented artists deliberately refer to the nature theme: form, material, color. The artists, despite their similar artistic needs and exploration, speak separately because of color and material choices, different methods of production and personal influences. Artists who are united in their approach to the new concept of the picture is the main premise behind

this exhibition. The purpose of the presentation is to show the way in which contemporary art is shaped by the creation of installations and objects in the world, and whose roots are derived from painting. The exhibition draws attention to

materials and techniques that artists use to express their color needs and the way in which the artwork is presented - its arrangement in space. The whole presentation may be a seen as a kind of provocation to reflect on the need for aesthetics in art.

West Melbourne

Since 1989 Terri Brooks has held over thirty solo shows in Australia, New Zealand, Italy and the Netherlands as well as participating in numerous exhibitions including art fairs in the US, UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Poland and Hong Kong. Her work is in the Neubrandenburg Museum Collection, Germany, The Macquarie Group Collection, Westpac Bank, many other corporate and private collections around the world. For over ten years her work has been been incorporated into projects by leading interior designers and architects for exclusive and award winning interiors. In 2018 she completed two major commissions for the Westin, Perth and Sheraton Four Points, Sydney.

Line and Weight

'In her seminal 1979 essay ‘Grids’, Rosalind Krauss writes that ‘logically speaking, the grid extends, in all directions, to infinity’. The grid within an artwork is therefore ‘a tiny piece arbitrarily cropped from an infinitely larger fabric’. The paintings in Line and Weight convey both this sense of the infinite spatial grid and, through the building up of layers, the infinite and repetitious nature of time. Washed over, painted across, re-written, line by line.' Anna Dunhill 2019.

Over the Edge

`The neglected zones of urban existence – alley ways, awnings, walls, gutters and shutters – occupy a unique place within the history of painting. Perhaps inadvertently, artists have been depicting such insignificant elements as cracked window ledges or the dark recesses of architraves since the time of Giotto. Ubiquitous, utilitarian and often worn down, the marginal nature of such sites and the phenomenological questions they raise has dominated Terri Brooks practice for the past two decades and continues to inform her work today.' Phe Luxford, 2011.
