Production April 2011
Launch November 2011
URBANANDSUBURBAN is a published DVD of a curated edition of David Pledger’s works on video made for performances, installations and interactive projects produced by NYID since 2001. The edition looks at the influence and relationship between interior and exterior landscapes – landscapes of the body and mind and landscapes of the city and suburbs. It proposes a link between the landscapes of the mind and the suburbs and the landscapes of the body and the city, suggesting that the suburbs are where one’s deepest psychological and imaginative worlds are built which are then made manifest in the playground of the city.
With the works collated and curated in 2010, the project goes into production with long time NYID collaborator and editor Greg Ferris in April 2011. The publication will be launched in Melbourne and available directly through NYID and an online Australian distributor to education institutions, artistic companies and individuals.
