Timeline paintings and photopainting interventions

Full description

Research Background The project has the title" Dahlhausen Viral" and brings an artistic viral response/reflection and interference to the new hang of the museum collection. The interventions revealed new colour formal and narrative connections between works and helped to recontextualise readings of the traditional collection and interventions alike. Dr Christoph Dahlhausen the curator of the project is Adjunct Professor in the School of Art RMIT Dr Christoph Dahlhausen has included other artists into this project including David Thomas with whom he has collaborated in a similar fashion at the Museum of Modern Art at Heide in Melbourne. The works by Thomas are site specific to Kunstmuseum Ahlen Research Contribution Briefly state the research aim(s) and research result(s) of this Creative Work in terms of the creation of new knowledge that can be used by others. This means originality and should be stated explicitly. If nothing has been done like this before (be sure!), state this is so and say exactly how this contributes to new knowledge. The work is new and specifically engages the spaces , colours and the collection of the Kunstmuseum Ahlen via the use of the monochrome time line paintings , painted colour on photographs of the gallery spaces By using colours that reference the site and particular works in the collection the work positions the viewer amid an encounter with experience and time revealing unexpected historical links , formal and perceptual synchronicities and differences. My work extends the object of painting in a light handed way into the space of the gallery in a manner that feels transitory .These intimately scaled interventions offers us the opportunity to contemplate time, change.
