Good vibrations: Australian artist explores rituals and rhythms of the natural world with first Canadian exhibit yyc yycarts
“We camped next to termite mounds every night,” Rake adds.
The Source is one of the pieces on display as part of Pulse of the Planet, a solo show co-curated by Rake and Shauna Thompson that incorporates nearly 20 years of work by the Sydney and Paris-based artist. It is O’Callaghan’s first Canadian exhibition and will run until Aug. 27 at the Esker Foundation in Inglewood. The granddaughter of world-renowned mineralogist Albert Chapman, whose massive collection is on display at the Australian Museum, O’Callaghan grew up surrounded by science and nature.
“Where I was really going was to these hypothermal vents, which are these huge cathedral-like towers,” O’Callaghan says. “Out of them gusts are coming out, are very, very hot and hitting 2-degree water. This space between the two is extremely generative for life. They believe all life began there.”Article content
“With all of my work, there’s this idea of connection and communication, and connection through something,” O’Callaghan says. “So this work is about vibration that is travelling down these tuning forks, through the resonance chamber, off the body of the performer but also out to the audience. So, essentially, anybody can perform in it and the audience is as well. These new performers are amazing.”
