Collective Monochrome No. 7 (Bonn, 2007)
A project coordinated by Billy Gruner (Sydney)
Wednesday, June 20th 2007, from 7 – 9 pm.
>>As part of an ongoing series of collective works visitors are asked to participate in the making of the project work, CM 5 by adding a layer of blue paint to the canvas supplied
Blue paintings are only used in this series. So works relate to each other and to an earlier trajectory of monochromatic work; Kline, Palermo, Burn et al.
In the CM process individuality and collectivity are conjoined in a single but agreed gesture. That act attempts to manage a space within a known binary in Australian art.
Personally, I think a distinction long upheld between realism and its supposed antipathy, pure abstraction, is arbitrated into something else. << (Billy Gruner, excerpt from CM 5 room sheet) . In 2005 Collective Monochrome 1V was shown at NOT (Brisbane) & CM V1 at Cheillerie, Amsterdam.
Billy Gruner is a Sydney based artist and curator and co-founder & Director of Sydney Non Objective (SNO).
