Goshka Macuga @ Kate MacGarry

Goshka Macuga’s practice focusses on studying the art of rhetoric and artifical memory as intricately linked tools for the organisation and advancement of knowledge.  She presents 18 new collages and a series of small woven tapestries.  The series attempts to systematize Macuga’s interest in different fields of knowledge, and create a method similar to computer programming that allows the artist to restructure groups of visual references. The weaving element and inclusion of photographic images mirror Macuga’s tapestry works, which are woven by a machine programmed to perform a previously labour intensive, human task.
