COVERS, Fiona Abicare
COVERS is a newly created site-specific installation by Melbourne artist Fiona Abicare. Abicare s predominantly sculptural practice explores her interests in the connections between museum, retail and domestic spaces and the material qualities and associations of objects.
For COVERS Abicare has meticulously created an ensemble of pieces that both complement and conceal the architectural features of the Project Gallery. These evocative visual props are presented in two different versions and settings: on display in the gallery and documented in two black and white photographs that hang on the wall.
Abicare is particularly interested in the ways in which we respond to objects and how the sites they occupy might affect such readings. By presenting the items in COVERS in different arrangements and contexts she offers alternate readings of the objects and invites visitors to construct their own narratives around them.
