I presented another custom installation of my 6 Feet Apart series as a solo exhibition in conjunction with this photo festival. This typology documents the ubiquitous ground markers directing us all to keep 6 feet apart to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Presented on the floor and walls, it invites viewers to reflect on how our lives have changed due to the pandemic.

About the gallery

Articulate project space is an artist-run initiative — in Australia they refer to it as A.R.I. ! — in the US we would call it a nonprofit art center.

It’s a building with lots of soul that houses studios and galleries. Articulate supports “process without a predetermined outcome and provides a unique forum that can open a way for you to extend your practice. This could include such things as creating directions for new work, new collaborations and other forms of inquiry relevant to your practice.” There are 3 galleries in the building and my exhibition runs concurrently with “Reflections” by Liz Shreeve and “Shift” by Steven Fasan and Anke Stäcker

Highlights include exhibition hubs at The Muse, TAFE NSW Ultimo and spectacular outdoor exhibitions at Bondi Beach and Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

  • The Daily Telegraph featured me in an article about the Jewish International Film Festival’s screening of the new film about Roman Vishniac. The film was co-presented with the Head On Photo Festival. (Pay Wall)

Country/land acknowledgment statements: The gallery acknowledges the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the Country on which Articulate stands. I also acknowledge the Ramaytush Ohlone and Coastal Miwok people on whose land most of these photos were taken and the physical images were produced. Some images are also from Ainu lands in Japan.

In contemplative photography, a crucial step to making an image is “understanding one’s perception.

It is an intentional pause.
It is difficult because our natural tendency is to rush, overthink, become distracted, or to grasp impulsively.

This is a great exhibit, outdoors in a shrine. I’m actually really glad I got to see it in the rain. This is a 13 minute long tour showing the whole exhibit and a little bonus exhibit next-door. This is a mostly Korean group of photographers, it’s a Korean photo festival that is participating in this Japanese photo festival. @kgplus @yukiiwanami @yipf_official

Everything in this garden was so beautifully done. It’s kind of crazy and I know how much work it is to keep things so simple and clean. Built in 1610. You have to reserve an advance and you have to take a tour and the tour guide was pretty stiff. I do really wish I could just walk around and sit and quietly enjoy this garden, but I’m grateful I got to see it.
Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show Great scenography (exhibition design) in this show sponsored by a French champagne brand. This is the fifth year they have sponsored a show for the festival. 
@sarishibat  is the artist - the work comes out of a residency done on the champagne grape farm in 🇫🇷.

The exhibition title Dotok Days derives from dotoku (literally “virtue of the soil”), a term used by Sōetsu Yanagi , founder of the Mingei movement, to describe the spiritual climate of Nanto. It means knowing that one cannot live without mutual support. It means entrusting oneself to a force far greater than anything one could plan. It means that the labours and prayers of unnamed people accumulate in the land, quietly supporting daily life from beneath.
OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like th OK, honestly, I was skeptical that I would like this exhibition of photos of famous people but the very first person was siouxsie Sue, who is my favorite - and that won me over. Of course the venue is so beautiful and the video of him talking about his work is very modest and heartfelt.
