20 JULY – 1 SEPTEMBER 2007Opening Thursday 19 July 2007, 6–8pm GALLERIES ONE, TWO & THREE: Curated by DAVID THOMAS, Composite Realities Amid Time and Space: Recent Art and Photography Artists LISA BENSON, CHRISTOPH DAHLHAUSEN, MARIE-JEANNE HOFFNER, SEONG KYOO JEON, JOHN NIXON, ROSE NOLAN, RÉGIS PERRAY, MONIQUE REDMOND, DAVID THOMAS, TILMAN, JONG GU YOON. Presenting work by contemporary artists from Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand and South Korea, and curated by participating artist David Thomas, Composite Realities Amid Time and Space: Recent Art and Photography expands the experience of photography at CCP from the wall mounted fine print, to consider works which articulate actual time and space. The exhibition will present photography in combination with other components including: paint, site, time and light, addressing questions regarding perception, memory and being, and exhibiting work by artists who are not primarily understood as photographers, bringing a critical edge to CCP. GALLERY FOUR: LOUISE HUBBARD, HACK WORK HACK WORK is a series of episodes in the systematic training of a three centimetre moulded rubber horse, subjected to horrific acts of control and duress, as its body is variously hurled, pulled, squashed and dropped into a field of obstacles. The action is manipulated from behind the camera and played out on a table top using office and school supplies. Relentless tugging affects the horse's shape and balance as it deforms, at times pulling it into flatness or rendering it indistinguishable. The horse's tensile nature is exploited in various spatial fields as it completes each 'show trial' in continuous time. HACK WORK explicitly reveals the struggle with process, momentum and materiality. PROJECTION WINDOW: DANIEL CROOKS, Pan No. 2 (one step forwards, one frame backwards) Using a custom developed motion control system, Pan No.2 (one step forwards, one frame backwards) is like walking backwards on an escalator or leaning into the wind, a moment of equilibrium is formed where opposing forces perfectly cancel each other out, achieving that evolutionary state of 'almost falling'. The video is a sequence of frames where only a single moment of pictorial space is constructed from nearly 30 seconds of 'source-time'. Static objects are transposed into a rapid series of chronological cross sections like the instantaneous transition from future to past. |
