At the risk of over-exposure, I’d like to remind you about CO-ISOLATED. The show is a one-night (plus symposium) affair, so we’ll see you on Friday April 16th, no? For a detailed map, click here.
We’ve just confirmed that renowned Australian sculptor Ken Unsworth will open the show Friday. Also, the symposium panel for Saturday now includes Andrew Benjamin, Adam Geczy, Adam Jasper along with Adrian Lahoud and Tarsha Finney.

CO-ISOLATED, an exhibition of new work by Richard Goodwin, Michael Snape and David Burns, will take place the weekend of 16 April 2010 in a 3000 square meter (30,000 s.f. from my American brothers and sisters) warehouse in the Alexandria suburb of Sydney.
I’m very excited about this show. I’ll be exhibiting a new piece that follows Triptych 01 of 2009, but at a significantly larger scale. Richard is planning a new performative piece that should not be missed and Michael is working with large foam plinths. Oh yes.
If you’re on this side of the planet, please stop by on Friday 16 April. It’s going to be huge.
Full details here: http://so-ad.com/co-isolated. And on Facebook.
See you there!

MAS Context, an architectural journal from Chicago, has recently released its new issue titled, University Works.
Their words:
University Works relates some of the most promising architecture work developed in universities around the world during the recent academic years. This work has been selected by curators directly involved at each of the universities. University Works wants to know and share what is produced in different contexts, establish parallels, understand challenges, and discover opportunities.
Discuss, Enjoy, Participate.
Last October I was in Chicago giving a talk at UIC and Iker invited me to curate some projects from my current home, the University of Technology, Sydney. I picked a few projects from the M.Arch Encapsulations studio I ran last year with Adam Jasper, a couple of projects from Adrian Lahoud and Sam Spurr’s Post-Traumatic Urbanism studio, and a couple of undergraduate projects as well. The students were stoked to be involved and we owe Iker a huge high five.

SO-AD’s web of creative interests have become a bit more tangled today with the arrival of the book ‘Agenda’, edited by David Burns. ‘Agenda’ is a publication documenting the work from UTS during the 2008 school year. Weighing in at a spry 192 pages, it features student work from all levels of the School plus essays by staff, guests and students. In addition to editing the book, we also designed it, collaborating with our friend and co-conspirator Nadia Wagner.
Tonight UTS will host a book launch to celebrate the book. Stop by and pick one up for only $15.
‘Agenda’ Book Launch
6-7pm
UTS DAB Courtyard

Hello all. We’re on the search for a large warehouse or raw space in Sydney for an exhibition. Details are still a bit secret (shhhh) but we’d like to have the show in November.
If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please drop us a line: info(at)so-ad(dot)com
Thanks.

(Image above: Bruce Barber, Kiss, 1973, Slide/sound installation. From Artspace.)
I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the Bruce Barber psuedo-retrospective at Artspace on Thursday and was very impressed. I’ll admit, I wasn’t familiar with the Canada based, New Zealand born artist but the work, from 70’s Fluxus era events to 90’s political activism to recent temporal projects analyzing Australian popular media and its coverage of immigration, was inspiring.
Recommended.
