From what we can work out, it’s kind of like an artist chain gang. Coming up at Westspace, Skeleta 2006 is a themeless mutating exhibition comprising over 30 artists, all three Westspace galleries and a three-round selection process.
The project starts with the work of 11 committee members, who in turn each choose an arty acquaintance, friend or stranger to exhibit with them. The chosen one then picks another artist, and all three are installed together.
Come opening night, works from Peter Volich, Meredith Turnbull and Sary Zananiri will be scattered in various clusters, as 11 creative family trees map the artists’ (dis)connections from beginning to end.
Skeleta 2006 – pass it on.
