Chicken Poems is a a new body of collaborative and parallel work by artists and siblings Oscar and Sophie Bannan. The exhibition includes collage, photography, video and sculpture.
Artnow writes that ‘each work is conceived as a visual poem that explores radical intimacies with time, and the creation of meaning through image/object relationships. Thematically, their work explores rhythms of living such as cooking and food, domestic chores, personal ritual, familial and romantic relationships’.
For the exhibition, Sophie and Oscar have made a moving image work using existing dance films made of and by the siblings over the past thirty years.
Beth had a kōrero with Oscar and Sophie about Chicken Poems, which is showing at the Gus Fisher Gallery until the 10th of May.
