O3 11 WE BUILD UP Marilyne Blais, Kate Moss and Friends

Marilyne Blais and Kate Moss met through mutual friends in Vancouver in the summer of 2010.

Both living away from the cities where they grew up- the importance and value of establishing a community and network is bestowed within their art practice.

There is a performative aspect central to social organisation, community and friendship; creativity emerges and is intensified by interaction, when time and space become shared and modeled through experiences.

We Build Up is an exhibition that will involve two spaces, Rearview Gallery in Melbourne, Australia and Artbank in Vancouver, Canada. Linked together via a video projection, both spaces will be occupied by individuals working together to construct a mutual place where the final outcome is undefined.


Working together from opposite sides of the globe Blais and Moss ‘s practice investigates collective imagination through creative impulse. By creating a temporary structure via an internet connection We Build Up seeks to question what happens when community is created through a share of space and how creating places together gives birth to community.
