EXHIBITION INFORMATION
emerge
This is friends Knowles and Melvin’s first collaboration.

Melvin’s work choreographs human action and gesture, exploring the
difference between the human and the mechanical. Predominantly
concerned with the idea of the work as process, often adopting repetitive,
cyclical and sequential structures to create photographic, video and performance
pieces, recent work has been greatly inspired by music, both classical
and contemporary.

Knowles’ previous public art works have been celebrated by their
audiences. The works range from the ordinary to the extraordinary, adopting the
language and signage of the spaces in which they are placed, and are
often sculptural yet comical in appearance. Knowles’ pre-requisite is to
always provide those who populate the public spaces with a gift, to do with
what they wish, and so the future of his public works are essentially in
their hands.

Being greatly familiar with each other’s work, Melvin and Knowles hope
to combine their very different methods of art making to create something
public, performative and comical to draw the passer-by to the activity
within the space.
