Part 9: Practice Assembly is the latest action from Association of Unknown Shores. AOUS is a collaboration between Bristol, Iqaluit, and Plymouth artists. We use social and process-led practice to explore the relationships, places, and material traces arising from events that took place from 1576-78, when Martin Frobisher was commissioned by Elizabeth I to locate the Northwest Passage. Part 9: Practice Assembly brings together conversation, research, collective making, casting, instructions, and collage as expanded sculpture that assembles gifted and made objects responding to these histories. Materials, text, video, sound and performance take form as an imaginative assembly of practice.
AOUS invites you to the work, to reflect on how objects relate to colonial legacies, to respond creatively, to contribute your responses to the AOUS Lending Library, and to participate in a series of speculative workshops and events.
