Cross City Experience # 6

Art collectives Clark Beaumont and Ok Yeah Cool Great utilised Vegas Spray’s online platform to create new and experimental work. The artists responded and developed new works via online mediums to establish a network and a visual art collaboration.

Over the four week period the artists produced works which were uploaded at Vegas Spray.Com for the public to view and engage in different approaches to making work for an online platform. The website became a dedicated art space which facilitated unique visual art networks and relationships between the artists and the viewing public.

Danny Ford is a multidisciplinary artist, working within self imposed parameters of Painting Projects, Sculpture Projects and Image Capture Projects (video, film, photomedia). Ford’s artwork is process based, and concerned with the application of tactics and procedures to existing forms. Within this ongoing investigation, Ford’s practice operates as enquiry into the historical role of the art object, and the function of the contemporary artist.

I’m essentially a painter who also works in performance. I come from a visual art background and not “live art” or theatre, and this is very important to me as it informs the way my work is read. In the last 20 years or so I have developed ways of working to suit my need at that particular time, in terms of strategy and context, by using painting, installation, sculpture, video and sound.

Michael Candy is a new and emerging kinetic artist who burst onto the scene in early 2010. Michael approaches kinetic sculpture with an organic aesthetic, often using fallen branches, leafs and even living plant life within his sculptures. His works often aim to provoke thought on the balance of nature and technology, and the conflicts between the two.

Michael is currently studying a bachelor of fine arts and industrial design at QUT.

Kai Syng Tan / Kadie

Described as ‘one of Singapore’s leading video artists’ by curator Dr Eugene Tan, Kai Syng Tan is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist, curator and art educator. She is an insatiable tourist-consumer-hoarder who scavenges the surrounding clutter of signs/noise; as a compulsive editor she chews up and re-maps the found fragments into densely-layered works that question our ‘realities’ of the here and now.

Be it installation, short films, text or performance, Kai Syng’s work is fiercely personal but always at a critical distant, with an urgency laced with self-reflexivity. Her work has been shown in more than 40 cities, including the Guangzhou Triennale, Biennale of Sydney, ASK Gallery in Tokyo and the ICA in London. Kai has also won several awards and grants (San Francisco International Film Festival New Visions Video Merit award, Young Artist Award, The Most Promising Young Artist Award at age 18, Merit Award at the Philippe Charriol Painting Competition at 17), and has a large permanent video installation in a subway station in Singapore, commissioned by the Land Transport Authority.

“A Peacemax Tree” is an interactive tree made of motors and laser-equipped toy guns. When nobody is around, this violent tree lets its guard down and dances to “White Christmas”. But, when you enter its territory, the tree becomes nervous, and all guns point at you!
