Unit 7 was a collaborative group put together in response to the proposal for the creative habitation /use of the former Railcorp uniform dispensary building (Unit 7) in the Eveleigh rail yards / Carriage works complex in Sydney in the lead up to the Momentum Sydney event held 12 – 15 May 2010.
Artists Khaled Sabsabi, Sophia Kouyoumdjian, Mark Brown, Jason Wing, Vincent O’Connor, Vaughan O’Connor and Ash Wing worked together in the empty building exploring the archaeology of the site through sound, video and installation process. This ‘creative lab’ precipitated into an installation by Mark Brown &

Sophia Kouyoumdjian entitled Detritical Labyrinth, the screening of video works by Khaled Sabsabi, Mark Brown & Ash Wing’s documentary about the Unit 7 micro residency. Unit 7 also performed two engaging live site responsive sound performances. These outcomes were presented at Momentum Sydney and during the independent Survey exhibition held after the main event.

The Unit 7 collaboration was disbanded after the Momentum Sydney and Survey 2010 projects but several of the participants continue to work together on sound performance and creative projects.
