Since all three SFN members originally hail from Queensland (or at least lived there during many of their formative years!), they were invited by Brisbane-based collective, OtherFilm (Danielle Zuvela, Joel Stern & Sally Golding) to participate in their sub-tropical intervention/invasion of ‘Always Moving’, a group exhibition curated by Jared Davis at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces in Melbourne.
For this two-evening event, SFN projected live from under the microscope, exploring the microscopic life found in a water sample taken from Norman Creek, QLD. With some help from gallery visitors, we made two large-format drawings based on this footage, as well as inspired by the Psycho-Sub-Tropical gallery environment which was continually evolving around us.
Excerpt from OtherFilm’s Psycho-Sub-Tropical Blurb:
Straddling the altered interstates between decorum and delirium, this gaggle of Queensland artists invoke molten-media performance inferences in Psycho Subtropics 2010. Two evenings of multi-dimensional research and visceral visuality from expedited equatorial agents of aberrance, featuring Ross Manning, Joel Stern, Sally Golding, Scale Free Network, Sarah Byrne, and more.
