Threads by Maryanne Coutts
by Articulate Project Space
Location: Articulate Project Space
Date: 27 Jun - 13 Jul 2014

This is the launch of Threads, where artist, Maryanne Coutts is setting out to draw her way across the surface of google earth through links between people who are photographed together. Starting with drawings of groups of people who have been photographed with the artist, those people have then been invited to send group photographs to be drawn and then the people in those photographs also invited… and so on, across the globe.

The launch is an opportunity to link in with the project. Visitors are invited to be photographed with the artist and bring their own group photographs for inclusion in the threads.

Just as our social networks increasingly exist in virtual space, documenting the times when we are together, seems to grow in importance. From formal meetings between heads of state and family gatherings, to informal gatherings between friends and even strangers, we take group photographs as if to prove the actuality, and value, of being together in the same place.

In response, it is ultimately the ambition that the project will live on-line, but this show also incorporates related material works which explore an immediate response to Maryanne’s existence in specific space and time. She taps into traditions of both keeping journals and journalism, in intricately related ways. It will include works in watercolour, mixed media, drawing, video and animation.
