Of Stadiums and Construction Sites (Ne change rien pour que tout soit different)
Curated by Lisa Radford

Of Stadiums and Construction Sites (Ne change rien pour que tout soit different) acknowledges a community to examine both polis and politics. Housing a cacophony of 'speaking objects and artworks', Radford will explore the space between the artworks and the discourse created and its legacies, visible or otherwise, not.

Lisa Radford's practice traverses writing, performance, sculpture and installation. In order to explore the shared socio-political space between images, place and people, Radford works with others as a way of examining what is both spoken and beyond speech. With Sam George, working together since 2008, they use conversation and oral histories to produce works that refer to documentary processes, shared narratives and coded language. The evolving project Concrete Archives, documents the shared experiences of 2 women: one Aboriginal, Yhonnie Scarce; the other non-Aboriginal, Radford and involves fieldwork to local and international sites of nuclear colonisation, genocide and memorialisation resulting in the production, to date of an editorial project with Art + Australia online and a major curatorial project The Image is not nothing (Concrete Archives) presented at ACE, Adelaide (2021) and later at the Margaret Lawrence Gallery, Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne. She currently works in the Honours and Painting departments at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. She was a Gertrude Studio Artist with DAMP between 2009-201 and with Sam George from 2019-2022.
