Castles from the Back Lot : Becky Richards : A Diverse Cast : Barbara Smith

Abstract

'Barbara Smith and Becky Richards are both installation artists, though that is perhaps where the obvious similarities end. On Saturday 3 March 2012 the artists will descend on Dunedin - Smith from Hamilton, Richards from Christchurch via Melbourne - and begin to occupy the Upper and Darkside Galleries of the Blue Oyster. The pair will install their work together, but separately. A kind of un-collaboration where the gallery space is yet to be allocated and the artists' interventions will take them meandering around the space, overlapping each other, figuring out just what they can do as they do it.'
