24.01.2022 DemoKinisi_07 Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier Play Something Else Cowboy 13 20 May, 2020... Play Something Else Cowboy at STACKS PROJECTS is a live feed of a bar in the artists living room while they self-isolate in Sydney. Providing a place to go within the home to connect with friends, artists, and colleagues. The work features Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier making and receiving phone calls at the bar, having conversations over a drink. Phone calls are welcome. The bar as an institution is a familiar and accepted locus of communal activity and participation. In this sense it is deployed as a simple vehicle to invite interaction, while performing as an artwork that is enacted by and for individuals in conversation.

23.01.2022 Robin Hearfield 'NBA2K16Reboot/SportVsArt/GoatVsRabbit' 20 26 May, 2020 The health and survival of humans is being tested, spaces re-utilised, public areas abandoned, private enclaves encroached upon. Home is work and work places have shutdown. Rhythms, rituals and habitual behaviours have been discarded.... An earthquake has hit the economic landscape, essential and necessity are keywords in a financial system that relies on a variety of activities that are anything but. Does society value inane pursuits that allow humans to examine themselves on their own terms? For every individual these practices and collections of vary significantly. To do something seemingly pointless, to refuse to uphold or serve any current social construct, to work outside of an imposed regime either self or societal, is to break the algorithms of the panoptic petri-dish in a digitally observed and mediated society. Cut through, play, have fun.

21.01.2022 DemoKinisi_2 Todd Fuller Billy's Swan (animation/video) 2017 chalk and charcoal animation and video - 5:37mins... Choreography appropriated Charles Darling, Billy Elliot the Musical. Composition: Paul Smith Courtesy MAY SPACE, Sydney Image courtesy the artist view the video here - https://youtu.be/6TkbEGpxIa0 read on the work here - http://www.artmonthly.org.au/blog/billy "In Peter Darling's choreography of the 'Dream Ballet' sequence for the musical Billy Elliot, a young Billy undertakes a Pas de deux with a chair. Set to the dramatic sound track of Tchaikovsky's Swan lake, Darling subverts the safety of the ballet barre replacing it with a mesmerising spinning chair balanced on pointe. Appropriating this choreography, the Artist creates a self portrait animated in charcoal on paper. Through it, Fuller re-enacts childhood experiences as a pseudo 'Billy Elliot' dancing in rural community. In the face of debate arising from a non-binding, same sex marriage postal plebiscite (and with fading technique), his hand drawn solo reflects on the relationship between gender, dance, and place, as well as the ability of the queer community to draw resilience, strength and beauty from the most chaotic of moments."

16.01.2022 STACKS Projects 2016 2020 17 23 June, 2020 2016 2020, is a visual history of exhibitions and projects that have taken place at the gallery. It closes the DemoKinisi series undertaken as a response to this time of immense global change. ... Keeping with this notion of change, STACKS have come to the difficult decision to close the gallery in August. The gallery will re-open, post COVID lockdowns, on the 2nd of July with Suzie Idiens exhibition, followed by Susanne Andrews exhibition as our final show, ending on the 16th of August. Details will be sent in the coming weeks. We would like to extend a sincerest thanks to you all for your wonderful support.

14.01.2022 Demokini_4 Kath Fries Breathing: forest sky snow, 2015 22 28 April, 2020... "Breathing: forest sky snow, was created during a winter residency in Finland. Walking in the forest, I often paused to look up into the treetops moving gently in the wind and tried to capture the strange mesmerising quality of their gentle sway. A few nights later, I projected this footage through my studio window conjuring ghostly arboreal silhouettes dancing on the snow-covered slope outside. Through distance, closeness, separation and association from outside to inside and back again the layers of this work invite reflections on isolation and connection. Breathing: forest sky snow, draws me back into a quiet meditative sensibility, cyclic breathing with the Earth". Thanks to The Ian Potter Cultural Trust Professional Development Grant, NAVA NSW Artists' Grant and Sydney College of the Arts' Postgraduate Research Support Scheme, which enabled my participation in the 2015 Silence Awareness Existence residency at Arteles Creative Centre Finland, where this work was made.

They occur within the everyday purpose of simply moving from one place to another from here to there. Filmed with a smart phone they are evidence of the negotiation of space through time. Paced out to my own rhythm and ambient sound, this pedestrian mapping brings about an embodied knowledge separate to,... but layered over the collective memory of others. Walk. Do this without thought, without effort. Walk as if your feet were lungs serving their unconscious purpose.

08.01.2022 SUZIE IDIENS Unintended Consequences 2 19 July 2020 We are pleased to open our doors again with an exhibition by Suzie Idiens. ... Suzie Idiens is interested in the subjective nature of perception and the paradox that arises when viewing reductive abstract art the effects are self-referential and rational while simultaneously evoking a visceral experience. By methodically questioning the effects of adjusting geometric form, repeatedly manipulating its shape or frontal plane, and restricting the use of applied colour, she asks how the sum of these actions will impact the viewers experience of the piece. Her aim is to balance intuitive decisions with formal concerns of line, form, colour, finish and spatial composition. This exhibition explores the various outcomes derived from introducing simple adjustments to the surface colour and outlines of a geometric form.

03.01.2022 DemoKinisi-5 Daniel OToole Sky Bending Medium - HD Video and stereo audio track... Running time - 02:23 Negotiating the cross over between video and painting. "Inspired by the 'Light and space' movement of the 1960s (Los Angeles) the work is positioned in the post-digital context of contemporary Australia. My work embraces the imperfections and low-resolution modes of recording as an aesthetic decision. I make videos of natural phenomena to use as a reference for paintings. These time based works are a conflation of analogue and digital processes. The video works combined with soundscapes offer a dialogue between sight and sound, to express a personal interpretation of how they can relate to one another. The video component is created with the painting outcome in mind. The result is a kinetic painting intended to be paused at various intervals and consequently mined for imagery. Paintings are framed behind a semi-transparent screen, to alter perception and re-animate the static image. Questioning the ubiquity of the digital screen, the work emphasises 'seeing' as an active engagement rather than a passive receiving. image courtesy the artist www.danielotoole.com.au DemoKinisi As a global collective we are witnessing events that will alter our current approach to living.

03.01.2022 To our supporters and friends, In response to the unfolding Covid-19 pandemic, we and the artists of our current exhibition, Shadow Palette, have decided to close the gallery, with viewing by appointment only. The exhibition will continue through to Sunday 22 March and can be seen from the street frontage. Images of the exhibition are available online and on social media. We have considered this very carefully, our concern is to protect our visitors, artists and volunteers fr...om any possible risk. Our programming will continue with artist Roger Crawford working in the STACKS Project Space from Monday 23 March to 3 April. His progress will be available for viewing online and through social media. Please email us to organise private viewing of the current exhibition. Very best wishes and stay safe from all at STACKS Projects [email protected] http://www.stacksprojects.com/shadow-palette.html https://www.instagram.com/stacksprojects/?hl=en STACKS Projects acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, who are the traditional owners of the land.

01.01.2022 Robin Hearfield NBA2K16Reboot/SportVsArt/GoatVsRabbit 20 26 May, 2020 The health and survival of humans is being tested, spaces re-utilised, public areas abandoned, private enclaves encroached upon. Home is work and work places have shutdown. Rhythms, rituals and habitual behaviours have been discarded.... An earthquake has hit the economic landscape, essential and necessity are keywords in a financial system that relies on a variety of activities that are anything but. Does society value inane pursuits that allow humans to examine themselves on their own terms? For every individual these practices and collections of vary significantly. To do something seemingly pointless, to refuse to uphold or serve any current social construct, to work outside of an imposed regime either self or societal, is to break the algorithms of the panoptic petri-dish in a digitally observed and mediated society. Cut through, play, have fun.

Questions around the importance of a physical space will become more prevalent as we merge more into the virtual world of viewing and consuming art. DemoKinisi is a response to the unexpected environment we are living in, derivative from two Greek words that translates to people in motion. It is a project with the intent on keeping the physical space of the gallery alive and uncontaminated. DemoKinisi consists of ongoing artwork projections which can only be viewed from the exterior of the gallery space or online. During the twelve-week program the artists involved will have the opportunity to present work that explore issues around co-existence, daily life, the unknown and perceived reality. The questions that remain to be answered are; how will the anticipated changes in social patterns affect the white cube, and how will we feel when we are allowed back into the gallery space. #peopleinmotion #artinmotion
