Fellow MFA student Josée Aubin Ouellette and I developed a collaborative residency/exhibition for Generator Projects this August.

The Autonomous Supports project is described below:

“For GENERATORprojects Doran and Ouellette will present a two part residency and exhibition creating sculptural work as a live performance.

In the first part of the project the artists will be in residence in the gallery using recycled wood and various objects sourced from within GENERATORprojects, they will assemble a structure which will be encased within a wooden scaffold support system. The artists will then remove the supported objects from within the scaffold, reconstructing their arrangement alongside their support.

In the second part, the support and the assembled objects will be
exhibited alongside plans describing the specific placement of each piece of furniture and each piece of wood.

Both Doran and Ouellette are artists living and working in Glasgow. They are interested in exploring their common fascination with the support structure aesthetic and the power dynamic between physical support and that which is supported.”

The project ran from August 1st – 14th.
