"Dust Me Selecta"[ref]Installing an exhibition is often an exercise that includes sweeping, cleaning, painting and long stretches of work with measuring tape and cordless drill. Housekeepers and tradespersons might choose to listen to music while they complete these tasks - artists are no different. As an irregularly updated feature, Shift Focus Without Warning presents Install Playlists: streaming music selections played by the artist at the time and location of the installation of a recent exhibition. Are there links between the songs and the show? Do these tracks offer clues pertaining to the artist's aims or influences? These playlists are presented without analysis for your consideration.[/ref]
Sean Barrett contributes The Gathering to this year's Fresh Cut at the Institute of Modern Art. This is how he describes the installation process:
The installation for The Gathering is largely about the placement of the photographs on the floor, an intuitive process that takes into account how the body moves about the gallery space, how the works are visible from any one standpoint, and the relationships created in each grouping of the images. It usually takes a fair bit of fine tuning until I'm happy with the way the install presents.
