Garling Wu, Clovis McEvoy, Joseph Ravlich und Christina Zhu
Collaborative art making and the exchange of knowledge is the foundation of Rent Collective. Currently consisting of Garling Wu, Clovis McEvoy, Joseph Ravlich, and Christina Zhu, our members hail from a diverse range of creative disciplines and we embrace the challenge of synthesising our separate perspectives and skill sets to realise multisensory artworks. We all share a deep interest in socially and environmentally conscious artworks and, together, we want to make things that invite audiences to think, feel, and understand.
Research Approach
What does it mean to walk a pathway through a forest? What is the human experience of that journey and how do we perceive the complex ecosystem that we move through? These are the central questions Rent Collective seeks to explore during our residency. Using field research, textiles, sculpture, sound and music, and motion-based interactivity, we want to transfer the environmental features of Spreepark into a cross-sensory sculpture. By offering an alternative way of experiencing and knowing the landscape, flora, and fauna of the park we hope to uncover hidden facets of this space.
