Theorist’s Training Camp/Practice
Piece takes the preparatory practices of working out, study and music practice
and adds them together to form a single complete action, an open performance,
made by the audience themselves. The work is a space divided into reading,
exercise and music zones all inspired by the DIY culture of Jogjakarta, Indonesia where the work
was initially developed and shown.
Nathan Gray is an artist and
experimental musician whose spatial compositions draw explicitly on
contemporary and experimental music practices.
On Friday 28th the work will be performed by specialists, art
theorists, gamelan musicians and athletes will come together to perform the
various activities invited by the installation.
The artist would like to thank Asialink, Cemeti House, Arts Victoria and
the Australia Indonesia Association for their assistance in the development of
this work.
