DRIFT: Flânerie in contemporary art

‘DRIFT’ is a multidisciplinary group exhibition about flânerie in contemporary art. The flâneur, famously postulated by the French poet Charles Baudelaire in the late 19th century, was first of all a city stroller and an urban explorer. This historical role has been revived and altered in a post-industrial age. Duquemin and Stäcker have brought together artists in the roles of flâneurs/flâneuses to transform the narrow street-like interior of Articulate Project Space.

The exhibition includes multi-channel video installation, sculptures of found materials, urban landscape photography, abstract painting, and digital projection. Artists include: Milein Cosman (UK), Judith Duquemin (Aus), Per Formo (Nor), Marlene Sarroff (Aus), Anke Stäcker (Ger) and Vagner M Whitehead (USA).
