Melbourne artists Jennie Lang and Geoff Robinson present a collaborative installation that engages with the architecture of the modernist building, Heide II. An arrangement of materials, including rope, timber and limestone, traverses the building’s central space and extends into the natural environment, forming an abstract structure referencing the systems of temporary bridge design.
The structure can be thought of as a three-dimensional sketch, which describes and maps relationships between architectural elements of Heide II. In addition to creating physical connections across space, Lang and Robinson introduce sound to link and produce association between points within the building.
An Arrangement to Span the Distance Between furthers Lang and Robinson’s collaborative practice of the past three years.
