Relatum, Lee Ufan, Versailles 2014

Usually I don't include work form other artists for this blog but my recent trip to Versailles in France to see Lee Ufans work is an exception. A pioneer and proponent of the Mono ha (School of things) his work has been an outstanding inspiration for me for a number of years and a highlight of my visit to France.

Enacting Time

Audio Link. Clare Hartley McLean. Enacting Time, 2013

In this work the artist has re-enacted John Cages’ formative audio and performance work 4’33” from 1952, wherein the performance consisted of “silence” on a piano. Exploring the relationship between the exhibition space and the audience, Enacting Time, establishes the audience as pivotal participant in this sound work.

Audio / Performance

Recorded at Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts, Pakuranga, Auckland. New Zealand.

"[...]That we do not discover reality but rather invent it is quite shocking for many people. And the shocking part about it - according to the concept of radical constructivism - is that the only thing we can ever know about the real reality (if it even exists) is what it is not. It is only with the collapse of our constructions of reality that we first discover that the world is not the way we imagine".
Paul Watzlawick 1995

Some of us are here, none of us are here

2 min audio sample. Clare Hartley McLean. Some of us are here, none of us are here. 2012

An audio exploration into the liminal state of flying dreams, contesting the real and expanding interpersonal connections via the re-telling of virtual memories. Establishing dialogue and permutation to create part archive, part virtual sub-conscious experience.

Some of us are here, none of us are here. 2012

In Aesthetic Information / Acts of Mapping, artists Carolin Casey, Shelley Jacobson and Clare Hartley McLean offer discrete explorations of human marks upon the land. These works bring forgotten, invisible and ephemeral features to the surface for our consideration, with approaches spanning research, journey, photography and installation.

Clare Hartley McLean conjures hidden aspects of the land in Discrete Geometries through the esoteric practice of dowsing, a form of divining. Pondering the power of unseen agency and the Other, charting the space enables an investigation into indeterminate forces.
