Working Together
[2015]
ST Paul St Gallery 3, Tāmaki Makaurau
Collaboration with Ziggy Lever
This exhibition is part of an ongoing collaboration between Lucy Meyle and Ziggy Lever. The project, which is currently titled Working Together is a continuation of discussions around collaborative and cooperative methods that were started with the show Knowing You’re Wrong in 2014.
One of the strategies of Knowing You’re Wrong (2014) was to demarcate a series of zones by painting a selection of walls yellow. We then worked alongside/off this structure separately, all the while in constant communication. Earlier this year we developed a series of texts in the form of letters. These were written almost exclusively on long train trips, while traveling between major cities. We were interested in writing in a conversational manner and gathering images from a multitude of places, as a means to casually record and unpick ideas and sensations experienced at the time of writing. Through conversation we can explore and question the points of difference and similarity in our shared memories.
That text was reproduced in an accompanying catalogue, here.
