"This Studio illustrates the workings behind Parallaxis, currently on display in the SASA Gallery for the Adelaide Festival. Over eight months, Melbourne based artist and architect Matthew Bird worked with students from the university of South Australia's Master of Architecture Program, led by Senior Lecturer Rachel Hurst. Their task was to respond to the Samstag Museum of Art's 2020 Adelaide//International, five exhibitions that look into the ways in which built forms can make us aware of the social, spatial and temporal present. The students considered the potential for architectural processes and measurements to act as a foundation for structures of understanding. They selected a focus point: the small town of Warracknabeal in Melbourne. The historic architecture of the town and the surrounding landscape of the northern Wimmera and southern Mallee became a means by which to explore the ways we navigate, hold and alter space."
