PIMPISA TINPALIT / SILENCE #1.5 SERIES (2020) GRAU PROJEKT / MELBOURNE / AUSTRALIA
PIMPISA TINPALIT KNOWN FOR HER LARGE SPATIAL AND CONCEPTUAL INSTALLATIONS THAT TRANSFORM THE MATERIALITY OF EVERYDAY OBJECTS TO A REIMAGINEDEMINENCE, WITH SILENCE #1.5 TINPALIT PUSHES HER WORK TO A NEW LEVEL OF SCALE AND MEDIUM-DIVERSITY. THIS AMBITIOUS AND EXPANSIVE NEW SOLOEXHIBITION WILL STRETCH ACROSS GRAU PROJEKT’S CAVERNOUS CLIFTON HILL LOCATION, AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST CONTEMPORARY GALLERY.
SILENCE #1.5 CELEBRATES TINPALIT’S MULTIMEDIA OEUVRE, INCLUDING VIDEO, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, AND A LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH HER SIGNATURE SHIBARI CRAFTED ROPE.“SILENCE #1.5 DRAWS ON MYTHOLOGY AND LOCAL ICONOGRAPHY TO EXPLORE THE NOTION OF FREEDOM AND FREE WILL,” SAYS TINPALIT.
“WOVEN THROUGH THE RE-UTILISATION OF ORDINARY OBJECTS, THESE THEMES REFLECT THE HUMAN DYNAMICS THAT WE COLLECTIVELY SHARE: VULNERABILITY AND DEPENDENCE JUXTAPOSED WITH SELF-CONFIDENCE AND LIBERTY.”
SILENCE #1.5 IS AN ONGOING MEDITATION THAT HAS BEEN MANIFESTED IN A VARIETY OF FORMS AND LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE LABYRINTH CONSTRUCT ON TAMARAMA BEACH, TINPALIT’S SHIBARI-SUSPENDED BED AT GRAU PROJEKT, AND LAKE WENDOUREE, BALLARAT FOR THE BIENNALE OF AUSTRALIAN ART, 2018.
