43 Minutes was an experimental project that attempted to demonstrate, oppose and manipulate some of the major characteristics and effects of neoliberal capitalism, such as the metaphorical acceleration of time, the overproduction of objects, the economic rationalisation of social life, the emphasis on the individual, and the promotion of personal responsibility.
The 43 Minutes exhibition invited members of the public to participate in painting a wall “1000 times” for an arbitrary 43 minutes. Following, the opening night performance will acknowledge and question the group’s complicity in neoliberal capitalism, and also (sadly), the impossibility (even futility) of their intention.
Sideways (After 43 Minutes) came about after the exhibition 43 Minutes as a result of COVID-19 social distancing measures in Queensland. Being in lock-down, we were unable to de-install 43 Minutes and we were essentially “stuck with the wall” inside Side Gallery, who were forced to postpone/cancel their exhibition program. In spite of the difficult circumstances of the pandemic, this gave us all time to slow down, think, explore and to innovate. It was wonderful and felt necessary.
Participating Artists:
Kate Barry, Carolina Navarrete, West End Art Gang member, Kirralee Robinson, Tamara Scheiwe, Olivia Adlard, Paula Austin, Jordan Azcune, Jarrad Eve, Tallara Gray, Louise Isackson, Alia Josephine, Kagede, Carissa Karamarko, Sam Kariotis, Pia Larsen, Julie Paterson, Rossanne Pellegrino, Aaron Perkins, Jack Randell, Xinxin Wen, Adrienne Williams.
