Gauge

(15 – 21 November 2012 – world premiere)
Madeleine Flynn, Tim Humphrey, Graeme Leak, Rosemary Joy and Cameron Robbins

A playground investigating weather, water and scale

In the grand surrounds of Arts House, Meat Market, five artists: Madeleine Flynn, Tim Humphrey, Graeme Leak, Rosemary Joy and Cameron Robbins; and two scientists: Dr Michael Roderick and Dr Adrian Pearce create Gauge – a contemporary Wunderkammer – a curious space of exploration into a critical concern for our time.

Gauge allows audiences to experience a hands-on encounter with a beguiling array of newly-created and historical apparatus – a collective artistic response to current debate around the water cycle and the distribution of water resources.

Researching and developing the work through a year of investigative excursions, both physical and virtual, the Gauge creative team have drawn on their collective reservoir of knowledge and imagination to develop these enigmatic inventions.

Expressed through the disparate processes of five artists working in contrasting ways across the disciplines of sculpture, music and new media, Gauge is informed by and with scientists working in areas of hydrology and complex systems.

The wondrous result of this unique collaboration is at once an exhibition, an installation, a catalogue, a set of talks, a series of performances by both performers and audience, and a real-time-data-created work – all rebounding and resounding within Gauge’s carefully orchestrated space.
