Cool Change & PS present: 'an invitation to dance'
Kristen Brownfield, jemi gale, Audrey Tan, Jess Tan, and Clare Wohlnick
Cool Change and PS Art Space are pleased to present an invitation to dance, a group exhibition featuring artworks by Kristen Brownfield, jemi gale, Audrey Tan, Jess Tan, and Clare Wohlnick.
Initiated by Jess Tan, the exhibition privileges process-led art practices that consider alternatives to excessive material consumption while minimising emphasis on extractive value and outcome.
Through pottering—embodied but unfocused thinking and working that playfully engages with and reassembles matter—divergences occur in a generative space. Lingering thoughts evolve and are translated into material outputs, formed by spending time in the studio, processing, reorganising, fiddling, and simply combining things to see what happens.
Such a working methodology challenges late capitalism’s reliance on efficiency and productivity to establish an alternative form of labour production through varied artistic approaches to slowness, collection, accumulation, re-use, and re-configuration.
an invitation to dance moves through human, non-human, and emotional registers to make meaning and invites us to contemplate alternate ways of moving through the world, with new intentionality around time, what we value, and how we consume resources.
