ARTISTS / RUARK LEWIS

Profile

Ruark Lewis is renowned for his linking of art, poetics and political discussions. His method, which he calls "transcription (drawing)", often takes the work of other artists -- composers, poets, choreographers, anthropologists and fellow visual artists -- and transforms it into abstracted text embodied in sculptural installations. He created RAFT with Paul Carter for the Art Gallery of New South Wales and other commissioned works -- for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, 2006 Biennale of Sydney and Performance Space at Carriageworks. In October 2008 he created a commissioned installation for Toronto's Nuit Blanche festival. His recent out-of-gallery urban installation (pictured above) "HOUSING THE SEAFARING NATION" is on view at Observatory Hill, National Trust, and 2 locations at Argyle Place (Abraham Mott Hall & the Older Women's Network) in Millers Point. The experimental version of HOMELESSNESS & Poems for The Homeless for Peloton is an extension of his ongoing An Index of Kindness 2007-2009.
