Unfriendly

About

For her exhibition ‘Unfriendly’ Fawcett has created a site for performance – part set and part architectural model that each weave a narrative of their own. A checkered floor is used in the front space, and a maquette in the shed to initiate an imagined strategy between her presence within the space and that of a spectral figure. With this exhibition, the artist takes a tactical approach to shaping the spatial encounter.  

Fawcett is interested in social dynamics and the engineering and reading of events. Responding to the invitation of an exhibition, the installation is set up to induce the sense of a contained and affected chaos with its own internal dichotomy and private domestic intention. 

Considering collaboration as both artistic form and content, she has worked with Amy Stickland on the set design in order to further give signature and branding to this spectral figure and to help manage their voice.

A finnisage performance will take place on 7th April 4 pm
