'Glimpse' discussed: Jeremy Eaton, 'Feeling Material', un Magazine, issue 10.1, April 2016
Glimpse draws on the extensive research OSW has undertaken into the natural history collection at Museum Victoria. Utilizing a cast taken at the Museum of a meteorite it examines relationships to an ‘outside’ through staging an encounter between material bodies of vastly different scales and durations. Centred around the (fictional) impact of a (real) meteorite within the grounds of Abbotsford Convent, the project is comprised of: a five minute video featuring sounds of the big bang; a set of eight film posters designed by Adam Cruickshank; a glass blown meteorite; metal stand with lead weight and a photograph of the Abbotsford Convent interior. This staged encounter invites contemplation of events that usher in change, events.
This art project demonstrates the use of fictional narrative as a means to engage in speculative thinking. It invites questions about the future through the staging of a moment of difference that does not distinguish in advance for whom it will make a difference.
