Frances Barrett: Meatus

Frances Barrett’s much-anticipated exhibition ‘Meatus’, part of the celebrated series Suspended Moment: The Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship, opens Saturday, April 2, having been postponed since 2020 due to Melbourne’s prolonged pandemic-related lockdowns.

A project led by Frances Barrett with Nina Buchanan, Debris Facility Pty Ltd., Hayley Forward, Brian Fuata, Del Lumanta and Sione Teumohenga.

Drawing on her background in performance, curating and collaborative models of making, Adelaide-based artist Frances Barrett has expanded the solo commissioning focus of the Katthy Cavaliere Fellowship to present new sonic compositions and live performances by multiple artists. Alongside a major sound installation developed by Barrett, Hayley Forward and Brian Fuata, Barrett has curated three specially commissioned sound compositions by artists Nina Buchanan, Del Lumanta and Sione Teumohenga, and invited a series of incursions by Debris Facility Pty Ltd, each of whom have responded to the concept of Meatus.
