PROJECT SPACE
July 30- August 22nd, 2015
Tradition
Daniele Dennis

Tradition explores the invisible/visible Black body through the merging of two ceremonial practices: the rice toss and the burial. The Black body is seemingly engulfed by well wishes yet struggles to remain conscious. The leftover rice present in the gallery prompts the viewers as witnesses to reflect on the execution of Black bodies.

MAIN SPACE
July 30- August 22nd, 2015
Girl Germs
Artists Involved:
Lauren Cullen, Beth Frey, Katie Morton and Amy Wong
Curated By: Emily Gove

Girl Germs features four emerging artists exploring feminist practices through painting, sculpture, collage and rug-hooking. Through their varying practices, Lauren Cullen, Beth Frey, Katie Morton and Amy Wong engage with theory and narrative through tactile exploration of material, generating work that is appealingly messy, combining nasty and sweet.

WINDOW SPACE
July 30th – August 28th, 2015
The Elusivity of Identity
Bijan Ramezani

Recycling and re-positioning current institutionalized images and narratives while putting them back within an institutionalized arena of post modern discourse, creating a portal to a new dimension. An advertisement to enter the institution, the gateway to culture. Identity has become elusive within the eyes of mass media, our sensibilities dulled by spectacles and repetitions, a non event to replace the familiar. Using the found narratives that exist within the institutionalized portrayal of the real, I am showing the image as it stands, raw and uncut. It is hard to escape from that which you cannot escape from. As hard as you try it’s impossible to grasp. It is what it is.

Has the real become more meaningful in its absence? Coming soon.
-Bijan Ramezani

EXTERNAL SPACE
August 4th – September 14th , 2015
Despondence
Katie Kotler

Despondence is a digital animation that plays with shapes in non-narrative space. Triangles and bubbles move around one another, while lines and bright colours slowly drift in and out of the screen. Masks, grids and ridges are incorporated to create a visual sense of pleasure and fun.
