edititoned performance; one-on-one walking conversation with the artist conducted via mobile phone, screen-print poster
duration: 20 minutes
Towards an Affective Measure was created for Language Is a River and developed from a residency the artist undertook with Monash Business School in May 2021. The installation combines the material aesthetic of the artist’s temporary residency office with an audio narrative that Rodigari has based on phrases and remarks collected during walking conversations with Monash accounting academics. A technique that has become core to Rodigari’s practice, the artist’s crowd-sourced and collective commentaries work as exhibits of social/academic discourse as well as capsule demonstrations of the self formed in dialogue. This new work continues Rodigari’s interest in themes of art, work, labour and value as an allegorical tale of late-stage capitalism.
The drawings in this installation have been contributed by academics from the Queering Accounting initiative including Associate Professor Nick McGuigan, Dr Lisa Powell (both Monash Business School) and Dr Alessandro Ghio (Université Laval, Québec).
