Jenny Brown

...Space Between... Artists

Jenny Brown's statement about her work.

“A tree in Gosford Mall provided support for a stall
display board as well as leaves to pin to it, which
were sold to passersby. Conversations focused on ideas
related to limits of commodification processes, who
controls monetary regimes and determines monetary
values, and the broader ethical concerns of deceit and
powerlessness for many within this system.

This work aimed at providing a context to link to
other works in the wider event such as those relating
to the Gulf War (oil) and local environmental issues
(water), as well as text I provided for the screen
displays taken from Senator Ron Paul in his speech to
the US House of Representatives (2006) called the End
of [American] Dollar Hegemony.

No leaves were sold.”

Jenny Brown - The G A B A project ∑

This project was recently on display for comment at Glebe Town Hall.
Jenny received a grant from Gosford City Council in 2004 to make two public sculptural works at the Ourimbah campus, and showed work in the Art First Party exhibition at Mt Penang the same year.
“The GABA is a mobile self-directed audiotour that incorporates ten custom built bicycles housed with GPS locative technology to navigate the bike rider towards any one of the tour’s historical, cultural and political intrigue hotspots along Glebe Point Road. The Glebe Art Bike Audiotour (GABA) is a fun informative eco-friendly way to discover Glebe’s rich and often hidden underbelly. As the rider reaches a designation the bike’s core tracking system will trigger the story for that place.” Jenny Brown and Damian Castaldi.
