LEAN TO / A LINE MADE BY LEAVING  

LEAN TO / A LINE MADE BY LEAVING is a work for 10 performers and 40 poles with Aleks Danko.

The poles are in constant flux; marking, defining, playing, balancing, leaning, appearing, disappearing and of course leaving ...

… a low impact temporal work to be performed slowly, quietly and meditatively, leaving nothing behind except a residual memory for both the performer (artist) and (an) audience …  

The end point of the performance is an arrangement of the poles along the edge of the drip line of the large tree by the Museum of Economic Botany. 

An ‘ecology of objects and actions’ inform A LINE MADE BY LEAVING as it is making use of ‘everything that is already (t)here’, more or less. It was performed as part of Arte Magre in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens with assistance from students and staff from the School of Architecture, Art and Design at the University of South Australia.
