^{day01. is delighted to present a small group of works by Bill & Pip Culbert.

Two emblematic works by Bill Culbert, both held in private collections, demonstrate his shrewd Dada inclinations. A series of found objects, discarded containers are both run through with a fluorescent tube as if it were a proto light-sabre. One can indeed “get light inside the body….”

Pip Culbert’s five skeleton pockets – where fragile outlines exist as light-weight material drawings that sit against the wall.

The humility of these material drawings of Pip Culbert’s are perhaps to Beuys’s heavy felt suit what Fred Sandback’s fine yarn sculptures are to Richard Serra’s monumental steel ellipses. Quiet, understated expressions of ineffable presence.

Culbert’s Blackball to Roa, is simultaneously irreverent and poignant. For all the implied solidity of the oil can, it has been penetrated by a shaft of light which presumably illuminates the closed interior, and yet it remains invisible to us.

The Estate of Bill & Pip Culbert is represented by Fox Jensen McCrory and Bill Culbert’s works continue to be shown here in Sydney by Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery.}
