In her inaugural project with MOORE CONTEMPORARY, DANIELLE FREAKLEY explores the relationship between studio, audience, action and gallery space. In a highly regarded career that has seen the artist working with significant curators and invited into major international projects, Freakley has evolved a sophisticated and nuanced interrogation of social interactions. Often driven by the power and implications of language, voice and its forms of expression, Freakley moves seamlessly between working with object-based gestures in diverse materials to generating and undertaking performances that can be either highly orchestrated or developed almost by a strategy of benign subterfuge.
On Your Behalf is a layered presentation offering an array of works on paper, sculptural forms, and a participatory drawing. Throughout the duration of the exhibition new works or interventions will occur either through the addition of physical works, or activity. As the title suggests, On Your Behalf speaks to the artist's intentional devolvement of authority, seeking to give permission to others to interact and distribute creativity.
