The Sink is a joint initiative of Accidentally Annie Street Space and brisbanedialogues to address a lack of critical dialogue and exchange about the practices of local and emerging artists in Brisbane. Unlike a review – which typically does not encourage multiple opinions or considerations about a work – The Sink is aligned with the type of critique commonly practiced in a tertiary environment. Its aim is to establish a forum in which a dynamic discussion is generated about an artist’s practice and varying interpretations about a work are presented and negotiated.
What follows is a recorded discussion about the respective works of Matt Dabrowski and Rebecca Ross (works presented at the event are available for viewing following this recording).
The Sink was chaired by Channon Goodwin, Co-ordinator, Programming (Visual Arts), Metro Arts.
