Flat Pack

You Too Can Do This (2017) Painters Tape, Painters Tarp, Dashcam Footage, Flat screen, Padded Blanket. 

“You too can do this” is a statement of fact and an invitation. The work consists of a flat screen resting on a moving blanket, veiled by a translucent painters tarp, displaying dashcam footage of taken from the drive between Sydney and Tributary Projects in Canberra. In theory, anyone could recreate this work for themselves, they simply have to repeat the process.

Flat Pack was a collaborative show at Tributary Projects including Sydney-based emerging artists Dylan Batty, Eugene Choi, Kalanjay Dhir and Nina Dodd, featuring work appropriating the imperative design ideology of the ‘flat pack’ into their respective practices; That is, the aesthetic typified by IKEA, one that promises a democratic assemblage and most importantly an ease of production and mass-dispersion.
