[unitegallery LonesomeReceiver]
"The Lonesome Receiver" continues Mark Shorter’s depiction and construction of male identity through the persona of Renny Kodgers. This work is the sequel to Hello Stranger; recently presented at Campbelltown Art Centre, which enacted a classic road movie mise-en-scene to rethink cinematic space and time. For this project, the artist looks at the communication channels and emotional connections of CB radio, favoured by long distance truck drivers. This project will form connection points from Gertrude Glasshouse to Gertrude Contemporary via CB radio, as well as connecting the project to the broader airwaves around Melbourne.
Opening performance Thursday 18 October, from 6pm.
Midnight performance Thursday 1 November, 11pm-1am
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and The Victorian College of the Arts through The University of Melbourne Faculty of Fine Arts and Music Faculty Small Grants Scheme.
Thank you to the installation crew and staff from Gertrude Contemporary. Anatol Pitt, Mark Feary, Tracy Burgess, Siobhan Sloper, Kari Lee McInneny-McRae, Michael Schwarz, David Clouston and Gertrude Contemporary.
