Frame - Platform Contemporary Art SpacesFebruary - August 2009 A 7 month residency, FRAME, Platform Melbourne 2009. A series of site-specific installations at the dark end of the subway.Residency 1: Installation of Flip Lock Publication - Tape Projects.February 2009Residency 2: Ooomong: Building Tunnels and Pondering Infinity - Zoe Scoglio and Unchalee Anantawat.March 2009 Lee and Zoe’s third collaboration is a site-specific installation, which sees the dark, subterranean Frame window below Flinders Street transformed into an intergalactic porthole. Utilizing sounds, structures and video,Ooomong playfully explores the fine lines between the infinite and infinitesimal, the wise and the whimsical, and the eternal and ephemeral. Adapted from the Thai word for ‘tunnel’, Ooomong creates stepping stones between the physical world and that which is unfathomable.Residency 3: Loose Lips Sink Ships - Nic Whyte and Eugina Lim.April 2009 A journey to the ends of the earth collaboration between Nic Whyte and Eugenia Lim. Loose Lips Sink Ships combines weird optics, tricks of light and shade and Whyte and Lim’s current obsession with re-imagining geography, science and common senseResidency 4:  The Hunt - Louise A. Dibbe.May 2009 Regarding cheap special effects and the codex of body language as the most refined communication devices available, Louise Dibben makes video installations that re-position cultural and sexual power struggles through simple actions that are recontextualised.Residency 5: Degraves Street Subway - Tanja Milbourne.June 2009This project, specifically designed for the Frame Residency at Platform, takes the existing site as the subject for enquiry. Investigating the conceptual and formal properties of photographic documentation, Degraves Street Subway extends into the temporal realm. The transitory nature of the passageway is evidenced by the fragments and traces of people moving through the subway. The surrounding space is unfolded both architecturally and temporally, implicating the viewer in the act of seeing and inviting questions about the nature of perception. Residency 6:  Gravity Pleasure Switchback - Jessie Scott.July 2009 Shot on a blustery, bleak mid-May Saturday afternoon, the powerful magnetism of memory and place is revealed in this shaky, handy cam footage of a barely-there Coney Island. R&B and the booming of touts steamroll over the emptiness, deliberately and insistently evading the issue of absence. Seagulls circle on the fog engulfed shore, and on the boardwalk, people are dancing.Even in its vastly reduced state, with assumptions of its closure rife, there is enough magic dust mixed in with the sand and cigarette butts to draw people, in the most unlikely circumstances, into spontaneous and public reverie here. Surprising, awkward, slightly daggy and incredibly awesome at the same time, the Coney Island Dancers revive the simultaneously naive and seamy public space of the boardwalk. Residency 7: Chronox - Michael Prior and Lachlan Conn.August 2009Chronox is an ongoing investigation of time, space and perception, incorporating installation, performance and publications in a variety of media.Video of Chronox from Frame 2009

Frame - Platform Contemporary Art Spaces
February - August 2009

A 7 month residency, FRAME, Platform Melbourne 2009. A series of site-specific installations at the dark end of the subway.


Residency 1: Installation of Flip Lock Publication - Tape Projects.
February 2009


Residency 2: Ooomong: Building Tunnels and Pondering Infinity - Zoe Scoglio and Unchalee Anantawat.
March 2009

Lee and Zoe’s third collaboration is a site-specific installation, which sees the dark, subterranean Frame window below Flinders Street transformed into an intergalactic porthole. Utilizing sounds, structures and video,Ooomong playfully explores the fine lines between the infinite and infinitesimal, the wise and the whimsical, and the eternal and ephemeral. Adapted from the Thai word for ‘tunnel’, Ooomong creates stepping stones between the physical world and that which is unfathomable.


Residency 3: Loose Lips Sink Ships - Nic Whyte and Eugina Lim.
April 2009

A journey to the ends of the earth collaboration between Nic Whyte and Eugenia Lim. Loose Lips Sink Ships combines weird optics, tricks of light and shade and Whyte and Lim’s current obsession with re-imagining geography, science and common sense


Residency 4:  The Hunt - Louise A. Dibbe.
May 2009

Regarding cheap special effects and the codex of body language as the most refined communication devices available, Louise Dibben makes video installations that re-position cultural and sexual power struggles through simple actions that are recontextualised.


Residency 5: Degraves Street Subway - Tanja Milbourne.
June 2009

This project, specifically designed for the Frame Residency at Platform, takes the existing site as the subject for enquiry. Investigating the conceptual and formal properties of photographic documentation, Degraves Street Subway extends into the temporal realm. The transitory nature of the passageway is evidenced by the fragments and traces of people moving through the subway. The surrounding space is unfolded both architecturally and temporally, implicating the viewer in the act of seeing and inviting questions about the nature of perception.


Residency 6:  Gravity Pleasure Switchback - Jessie Scott.
July 2009

 Shot on a blustery, bleak mid-May Saturday afternoon, the powerful magnetism of memory and place is revealed in this shaky, handy cam footage of a barely-there Coney Island. R&B and the booming of touts steamroll over the emptiness, deliberately and insistently evading the issue of absence. Seagulls circle on the fog engulfed shore, and on the boardwalk, people are dancing.

Even in its vastly reduced state, with assumptions of its closure rife, there is enough magic dust mixed in with the sand and cigarette butts to draw people, in the most unlikely circumstances, into spontaneous and public reverie here. Surprising, awkward, slightly daggy and incredibly awesome at the same time, the Coney Island Dancers revive the simultaneously naive and seamy public space of the boardwalk.


Residency 7: Chronox - Michael Prior and Lachlan Conn.
August 2009

Chronox is an ongoing investigation of time, space and perception, incorporating installation, performance and publications in a variety of media.
