Dockworks is a CAST Gallery off-site project in partnership with Hobart City Council and Tasmanian Ports Authority. 5 artist were selected to install works around the docks of Hobart as part of Hobart Summer festival.
Elizabeth Day's work - The Origin of Ideas, seeks to uncover and document the behind the scenes processes of artists, scientists, writers, architects and others who work in the Sullivan's Cove dockland area via a video work presenting images from working diaries presented in a shipping container.
Derek Hart's installation - Fleet, explore ideas of water-bound groupings of vessels where the smooth white reflective surfaces of ceramic sinks echo those of the white hulls of boats.
Anthony Johnson's installation - Too much of a good thing, offers an absurb imitation of the density of people, activities and consumption we usually associate with summer holidays and festivals.
Alica King - The Friendly stranger, turns our attention to a marine environment and its potential inhabitants.
Michael Schlitz's work Lamb, ponders the early years of exploration in the southern ocean when shipwrecked sailors looked to seals as a food source, calling it lamb to remind them of home.
