An exhibition made primarily of sculptures, those holding a reverence for quiet precision (both the elegant and entangled). A poetic arrangement of materials crafted with multiple techniques and concerns, seeing each work operate with a profound state of reciprocity within. A beneficial exchange also seen through the larger context of the exhibition.
Incorporating the sculptures of Lewis Doherty and Consuelo Cavaniglia, alongside a singular work by Olivier Mosset, Quiet precision; dust in the wind see works dwelling on the formal, toying with the canon and continuation on the possibilities (and questions) of an object in space. For all objects gather dust (even those based on a wall), they stand, dust lands and rests, but the operational language of these works can hold movement or momentum. Slick surfaces of metals and plastics afford speed, natural wood and stone hold the passage of time; mirrors make for real-time movement, and bronze is something intervening with all the above. The dust settles, yet the dialogue of material considerations and a precise formation of varied forms see a gust of wind come through, upsetting this stillness, allowing for the animate.


1301SW was founded in 2022 in Naarm/Melbourne’s inner-south, embracing the region while having strong roots internationally. Extending from its Melbourne base, the gallery expanded its unique and ambitious exhibition program to Gadigal/Sydney with the opening of a second gallery space in late 2024.
