Join us on an artist-led tour and talk with Joshua Vettivelu as they discuss their exhibition prayers for a word (or a lack that builds the world)< /i> on Saturday, March 5, 2022. This final installment of Public Spac e, curated by Matthew Kyba, features hundreds of cast ings of the artist's grandmother's hands, created using beeswax infused wit h 'Ceylon' cinnamon.  

Vettivelu’s research investigates how the language we use to unders tand ourselves is informed by the material conditions that surround us. Prayers for a word (a lack that builds the world) connects the material hi story of the spice trade with the psychic impact of European missionary wor k to explore how frameworks of redemption and salvation have been used to e nsure enthusiastic labour and unfettered access to resources.

The installation is intentionally housed in the Visual Arts Centre of C larington (VAC), recalling its role as a decommissioned barley mill. The bu ilding was constructed in 1905 for the processing of grits and barley, late r revitalized into a hub of cultural production by the Town of Newcastle in 1976. Pray ers for a word (a lack that builds the world) is the last it eration of the VAC’s collaboration-based exhibition Public Space< i>. In collaboration with Nicolas Fleming and Andreas Buchwaldt, Vettiv elu reconfigures the VAC’s architecture into a factory that continually pro duces and destroys something that is simultaneously material and immaterial , public yet deeply private.

 

Please note that Joshua Vettivelu will also be leading an artist talk from 12: 00 - 2:00 pm for visitors registered to arrive by shuttle bus (registration required). The gallery will be closed to other guests during this time.
