Like an archaeological dig, A Transposition of Space explores and dissects the multiple layers of social, cultural and environmental history that contour the geographies surrounding Verge Gallery, Sydney and Concord Gallery, LA. Through this collaborative exchange, artists, writers and actors on opposite sides of the globe will seek to understand and interpret their own surroundings and position within the urban landscape by engaging with representations of one another’s historical and environmental fabric.
Working with a wide range of media, artists blend fact with imagination to compile a series of artefacts, maps and works that will be exchanged between galleries and then reinterpreted (and perhaps misinterpreted) into two fascinating exhibitions. Works include a paste-up of urban mythologies, interpretive maps that personalise immovable terrains, and a sound piece that attempts to reconcile the ghosts of the past with the landscape of the present.
The exhibition includes a series of performative events that involve storytelling, map reading/writing, experimental tours and social experimentation. These seek to explore our fluid understanding of complex urban geographical histories, landscapes of mind and interpretation of experience.
