Contemporary and PS Art Space in Walyalup/Fremantle at Old Customs House 19 July - 4th August, 2024.Photographic documentation by Dan McCabe. With an exhibition text by Sarah Byrne, designed by Oliva Rawlings. Tear Jerker reimagines the Cocytus River as a strange, twisted bathhouse. It's a muffled wail of grief and aloneness – of pain and suffering swirling away, under the surface, out of view - held at bay by doom-scrolling and dissociative ceiling-staring – rearing its head in private therapy rooms or ugly crying while trying to brush your teeth in the shower. Tear Jerker tries to entangle you in an eternal karaoke video; you slosh about, chased by dolphins and earworms while dry retching at the congealed, soapy hair clump staring out at you from the abyss. Just relax and cry; things won't be fine, fine, fine. Massive thanks and appreciation out to Guilhem Thérond at PS Art Space&nbsp;for assisting from Europe while on holiday with family. Thanks to Bennett Miller at Old Customs House for making space available for the venue change, and massive thanks out to Jessee Lee Johns of Prestige Bricks for helping us build one brick at a time. Special thanks to PICA Perth and Miranda Johnson for providing space to create work for the exhibition. 100 songs of sadness https://andreameacham.com/100-songs-of-sadness Sat, 09 Mar 2024 00:46:13 +0000 Andrea Meacham https://andreameacham.com/100-songs-of-sadness <img width="3021" height="4096" width_o="3021" height_o="4096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/144578955fdb1c4ee7842d0c17a5dea502f208864bc7b92871a20e9ff31b455a/for-website-A.Meacham-100-songs-of-sadness-No1-copy.jpg" data-mid="206364973" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/144578955fdb1c4ee7842d0c17a5dea502f208864bc7b92871a20e9ff31b455a/for-website-A.Meacham-100-songs-of-sadness-No1-copy.jpg" /><img width="700" height="525" width_o="700" height_o="525" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6558c7ee5253c940dc3dc3ac5bf86a6d0eb60e574e0806b799eaf5bf4a682478/IMG_0847.PNG" data-mid="206365028" border="0" data-scale="69" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/6558c7ee5253c940dc3dc3ac5bf86a6d0eb60e574e0806b799eaf5bf4a682478/IMG_0847.PNG" /><img width="700" height="525" width_o="700" height_o="525" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99d144377bbd02847ba16ddaba41d495c4dbac061f056807385f4559fe919846/IMG_0846.PNG" data-mid="206365027" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/99d144377bbd02847ba16ddaba41d495c4dbac061f056807385f4559fe919846/IMG_0846.PNG" /> 100 songs of sadness 2023 100 songs of sadness No. 1 was selected as the featured artwork for No More Poetry Issue 7 2023, English - saddle stitched - eight pages + A3 Fine Art Print. Coloured pencil on paper, 475 x 340 mm 100 songs of sadness No. 1 reimagines the Cocytus River from ancient Greek mythology as a labour-intensive drawing comprising the title and artist of Andrea’s favourite sad songs, drawn in bubble font and arranged in a fluid swirl shape. This drawing is a lamentation, a muffled wail of grief and aloneness – of pain and suffering swirling away, under the surface, out of view - held at bay by doom-scrolling and dissociative ceiling-staring – rearing its head in private therapy rooms or ugly crying while trying to brush your teeth in the shower.

Ultra-terrestrial group show at Elevator ARI, Lismore NSW 06/05/23-26/05/23 with Sarah Walker, Anna Schwann and Lewis Gittus.Polyester fabric, raw silk, beads, sequins, cotton thread, fabric dye, alcohol ink, eye glasses, cardboard, spray paint, rope, aluminium wig stand, latex, heart-shaped confetti hand-punched from a kids how-to magic book, live performance. Be my salty muse2023acrylic, latex, pigment on wood panel.Andrea Meacham’s (ex)Magicka uses textiles, sculptural costume, painting and roving performance to tell the story of an ex-magician. Magic used to inspire this foolish character. He saw his awesomeness, his regal talent, in the professed smiles of incredulity and self-spruiking claims he possessed a slight-of-hand like no other. But people weren’t coming to his shows, even the super geeky pre-teens couldn’t pry their faces from TikTok and bear witness to the spectacle, he ruminated. He feared he’d lost his edge. Had he washed-up? Obsessed with shrunken audiences, fading youth and arthritic hands, he began a strict regime of Thalassotherapy. A heady diet of kelp, and spirulina gave his skin a greenish tinge. As the relentless steamy seawater baths and marine collagen injections began to take effect, he felt himself becoming something else, something strange. And yet, the urge to magic never left him. ︎ Sarah Walker and Fabian Pertzel. like a heartbeat drives you mad https://andreameacham.com/like-a-heartbeat-drives-you-mad Sun, 28 Nov 2021 02:24:26 +0000

drives you mad&nbsp; 2022 chair, fabric, acrylic nails, sequins, beads) and HD three-channel video (04:12) two-channel audio (04:12). Solo exhibition at Seventh Gallery, Melbourne 30.6.22-22.7.22Exhibition text by Lewis Gittus. Supported by a Yarra City Arts Small Project Grant. In Like a heartbeat drives you mad, the artist transforms the gallery space into a weird treatment room, a noxious space where not-quite-right beautification and body horror collide. Drawing on the visual language of ASMR clips, instructional videos, and cult iconography, the audience bears witness to a noxious ritual. Hear the self-emulsifying catchcry shudder throughout the space: be one with the gak. Like a heartbeat drives you mad offers a moment to share ridiculous communion with the anti-idol of panic and their hot tears of doom.

Lighten up babe – things will only get better. But things don’t generally get better – physics says so. Look how they shine / Your skin and bones is a tragicomic with bad taste - it’s less about things getting better and more about things getting weird. Look how they shine comprises 73 yellow fabric patches assembled into a tapestry – a kind of diary entry, an essay on happiness. Yellow is happy. Yellow is an angry baby’s face in the sun, stars twinkling. Coldplay know about yellow. Your skin and bones sees four masked people playing and crying in the grass. They want you to know, if you can’t laugh, you’ll cry, and you might cry until you laugh. Performed by: Tessa Terlouw, Claire Farrugia, Zoe Roberts and Lyra Rinaudo.

Suffocated by green light, they are stuck, trapped, tethered in a fluffy harness, and watched intently by the organism in the bell jar. The wolf spider will consume its children when in need but more often the offspring dine upon each other. Everything’s gone green is a kind of B-grade erotic horror film where all is fake and plastic and everything could change in a flash, forever.

Satin, cotton drill, latex gloves, synthetic stuffing, sequins, beads, metal eyelets, steel rod, metal chain, plastic rings, video (infinite loop), audio (infinite loop), laptop, portable speaker, cotton sweatshirt, pedestal fan, sibling. A dreamscape (of the office), just under the meniscus of sleep – a weird zone of possibility and horror. Blue satin curtains riddled with perverted latex appendages are blown softly by a pedestal fan, lit by the video’s eerie blue light – it’s like being in the inside of a film set, or the inside of someone’s unconscious. Maybe it feels relaxing, maybe it’s too intimate. The room expands and retracts with the recorded human groans, as the performer lays out in their recumbency. Things are not okay, yet everything is fine.

A bulging, limp windsock of apathy. Why is everything so hard? Monumental Flop strives to be a ridiculous objectification and celebration of failure – a mockery of ambition and art world patriarchy. Its soundtrack of recorded sighs speaks to the tension and absurdity of the human condition; the relentlessness of trying and failing, of disillusionment; of the everyday. The instant coffee is stirred ad nauseam and everything ends up down the toilet. Monumental Flop is about doing a bad thing in a good way.
