TAKE OUT (Sugar Takes Out Candy)
Julaine Stephenson
May 3 - May 20, 2001
Currently based in Melbourne, Julaine Stephenson is an installation
artist with a penchant for faux velvet stretch knit, and earth shattering
audio. Exhibiting widely over the last eight years, including at
The Performance Space (Sydney), Soundculture 96 (San Francisco),
and Useby (Melbourne), Stephenson blurs business with pleasure in
dual roles as artist and co-ordinator, having produced a number
of public and site - specific projects as founding member of
the Oblique Trust.
Creating a whimsical tableau of danger and intrigue, for The Physics Room Julaine
presents a snapshot of her larger than life creations Sugar and
Candy. In an earlier episode, Sugar, in a spate of greediness, was
found ripping superfluous pieces of body adornment off Skater girl
(AKA Candy).
Unsatisfied with the recent spillage of blood, the pint sized femme fatale
then called in the heavyweights to rid her world of the scourge
of Candy. Now Sugar has discovered haute cuisine and the ancient
art of the Ta-ke-a-way. Sugar's still out for a piece of Candy!
