CARLY FISCHER & EDWINA STEVENS
Velodrome

Velodrome is a collaborative, site-specific sculptural and audiovisual installation by Carly Fischer and Edwina Stevens that responds to the Coburg Velodrome as a point of departure for investigating some of the intersecting details and histories of Coburg, Melbourne. Oscillating around Coburg's industrial fringes, the installation reflects on how these in-between spaces and their accumulations of forgotten fragments, traces and tones reveal hidden histories and generate improvisational dialogues with local places. In the installation, sculptural, video and sonic fragments collected from these places are reassembled and reconstructed into a constantly shifting conversation throughout the duration of the exhibition. Through its intersecting loops, layers and accumulations, 'Velodrome' considers the importance of creating more generative engagements with our local places through their peripheral spaces. Re-contextualised from the artists' local, suburban Melbourne environment to Kyneton, with a few accumulations along the way, the installation specifically reflects on how the hyper-local can be translated and generate dialogues with other places.
