NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: DAVE HULLSISH BAILEY + SAM WATSON - CityCat Project 2006–2016 (David Pestorius / Sternberg Press, 2017) Edited by Rex Butler Texts by Rex Butler, David Pestorius, Sally Butler, Michele Helmrich CityCat Project 2006–2016 is the record of an extraordinary collaboration between American artist Dave Hullfish Bailey and senior Aboriginal writer and activist Sam Watson. The collaboration is structured around Maiwar Performance, in which the CityCat ferries that ply the Brisbane River (Maiwar) execute unannounced maneuvers near a site of significance to the Aboriginal people who lived on the lands around Brisbane before British colonization in the early nineteenth century. After its first iteration in 2006, Watson designated the event a “Dreaming,” which meant that it should be periodically repeated. The performance has since been restaged in 2009, 2012, and 2016, with Watson seeing it as an important act of Indigenous empowerment: a way of restoring agency to the local Aboriginal people in bringing their past alive and allowing them to think that the future has not been definitively determined. Parallel to this recurring event is an evolving body of works in diverse media. At its core is Bailey’s lateral research-based process, which combines a highly reflexive approach to language with granular descriptions of material and cultural systems. The call-and-response collaboration between Watson and Bailey and the many irreducibilities within it, generates an articulation of place that is playfully extrapolative, yet politically and intellectually resistant. This publication includes an introduction by its editor, Rex Butler, and an essay and detailed timeline by CityCat Project curator, David Pestorius, which covers the activities of Bailey and Watson both before and throughout their work together. In addition, art historian Sally Butler reflects upon Watson’s literary production, while curator Michele Helmrich sheds light on the local historical context that significantly informs the collaboration.

SCI-Arc: Dave Hullfish Bailey: HARDSCRABBLE at the REDCAT Gallery

[vcapaintingpinboard]

Dave Hullfish Bailey + Sam Watson: CityCat Project 2017 15 March — 8 April, 2017 Australian Fine Arts/David Pestorius at Neon Parc, Melbourne

Neon Parc is pleased to announce the exhibition Dave Hullfish Bailey + Sam Watson: CityCat Project 2017, an ongoing collaboration (since 2006) between Los Angeles artist Dave Hullfish Bailey and Brisbane Aboriginal activist and writer Sam Watson. Presented by Australian Fine Arts/David Pestorius, the curator of the project, the show bridges indigenous concerns and political action across geographic borders.

Building upon works first presented at the Pestorius Sweeney House in Brisbane last December, the exhibition includes photo and text-based works created by Bailey in the aftermath of a visit in October 2016 to the camps near Cannonball, North Dakota, where Indigenous leaders and environmental activists came together to resist construction of an oil pipeline that has destroyed sacred sites and threatens supplies of drinking water. The exhibition features photographs of the Oceti Sakowin (Seven Fires of the Great Sioux Nation) encampment — where the Aboriginal flag flew proudly near the main entry — alongside archival images of the Aboriginal Embassy media event in Canberra in 1972. Through these juxtapositions, Bailey frames parallels between the birth of the Aboriginal land rights movement and the current resurgence of sovereignty issues raised in North Dakota.

The exhibition will also feature documentary photo and video works relating to Bailey and Watson’s collaborative Maiwar Performance on the Brisbane River (Maiwar). Staged in 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2016, the performance involves unannounced interruptions to the normal routing of Brisbane’s popular CityCat ferries to highlight the colonial past of the river and reintroduce indigenous narratives. The location of the interruptions is both the site of an ancient Dreaming story and also the colonial boundary that excluded Aboriginal people from the city after dark. Seen by Watson as an important act of Indigenous empowerment, the Maiwar Performance seeks to restore agency to the Indigenous people living around Brisbane by bringing past narratives alive within the community, and by projecting the possibility of a future not definitively determined by the recent past.

A question operating just beneath the exhibition is the ways in which the Aboriginal Embassy and the ongoing encampments in North Dakota can be understood as incubators of inter-tribal solidarity and emerging pan-aboriginal identities at national and international scales. Bailey explores these themes through text-based works, including flags which conjoin formal aspects of the Aboriginal flag with the sentence “Wake Up Relatives” used by leaders to muster the water protectors to pre-dawn prayers and front-line actions during his visit to North Dakota last October. In these works the distinctive and highly elemental design of the Aboriginal flag comes to the fore, posing a visual synecdoche for the movement from concrete circumstances and local traditions to unifying abstractions and symbols. Transposing its signature red, black and yellow colours as fields for language re-opens questions of relation to their modernist cousins. Against the rise of nationalist movements worldwide, the flags become a series of problem objects which ask viewers to reassess the modern project 100 years in, and perhaps to reconsider their definition of ‘relatives’ in much deeper frames of time.

Coinciding with the show will be a number of related events, including lecture/performances by Dave Hullfish Bailey at Monash University, Caulfield Campus on Thursday 16 March and RMIT Centre for Art, Society and Transformation on Friday 17 March, while on Saturday 25 March the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art will host the official launch of Dave Hullfish Bailey + Sam Watson: CityCat Project 2006–2016, edited by Rex Butler and published by the Sternberg Press. The launch by Aboriginal activist and historian Gary Foley will be preceded by a Q&A session involving Foley and Sam Watson, both of whom were key participants in the Aboriginal Embassy media event, and be mediated by Paola Balla, co-curator of ACCA’s current Sovereignty project.

STARTING CONDITIONS (por favor no recojan y tiren las piedras!) (5/11/2015)

STARTING CONDITIONS (por favor no recover y tirar las piedras!) is the teaser of a collaborative, experimental and long-term project, that will take place in the upcoming months between Dave Hullfish Bailey, Martino Genchi and CLOG. The project starts from a defined space-time structure, which is the concatenation of three moments (Firstness Secondness and Thirdness), variably identifiable with different contexts, brains and places. Exchanges and relationships between these three moments will redefine every time the development and success of the project.

STARTING CONDITIONS featured a huge party with a selection of minimal techno music from Naples and a number of elements that were meant to act as a scenography at a subliminal level. Between them: the photograph of a sea of rocks coming from an unspecified place, the trailer of the movie ‘La Guerre du Feu’ (1981), a big fire in the underground space and a certain number of bananas with the inscription ‘Do not build.’

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: DAVE HULLSISH BAILEY + SAM WATSON - CityCat Project 2006–2016 (David Pestorius / Sternberg Press, 2017) Edited by Rex Butler Texts by Rex Butler, David Pestorius, Sally Butler, Michele Helmrich CityCat Project 2006–2016 is the record of an extraordinary collaboration between American artist Dave Hullfish Bailey and senior Aboriginal writer and activist Sam Watson. The collaboration is structured around Maiwar Performance, in which the CityCat ferries that ply the Brisbane River (Maiwar) execute unannounced maneuvers near a site of significance to the Aboriginal people who lived on the lands around Brisbane before British colonization in the early nineteenth century. After its first iteration in 2006, Watson designated the event a “Dreaming,” which meant that it should be periodically repeated. The performance has since been restaged in 2009, 2012, and 2016, with Watson seeing it as an important act of Indigenous empowerment: a way of restoring agency to the local Aboriginal people in bringing their past alive and allowing them to think that the future has not been definitively determined. Parallel to this recurring event is an evolving body of works in diverse media. At its core is Bailey’s lateral research-based process, which combines a highly reflexive approach to language with granular descriptions of material and cultural systems. The call-and-response collaboration between Watson and Bailey and the many irreducibilities within it, generates an articulation of place that is playfully extrapolative, yet politically and intellectually resistant. This publication includes an introduction by its editor, Rex Butler, and an essay and detailed timeline by CityCat Project curator, David Pestorius, which covers the activities of Bailey and Watson both before and throughout their work together. In addition, art historian Sally Butler reflects upon Watson’s literary production, while curator Michele Helmrich sheds light on the local historical context that significantly informs the collaboration.
