unendingbeginning - Steve Lovett
The show, unendingbeginning sees Lovett revisiting long-standing themes in his art
practice, re-reading the idea of place and experiences attached to those locations in an
attempt to make sense of what has happened, and how we become who we are as a result.
The images gathered together in this new body of work are reconstructions of historical
facts, transit points between the personal and the collective. Lovett, suggests new
articulations of modes of storytelling that are elliptical, subjective and, embody the desire to
show the multiple ways in which individual, small observations—sometimes fictional,
—jostle and intersect with history. In this work Lovett has collected the debris of the past
binding it, at least temporarily, to the present.
Operating between modes of photographic recording and data collection translated into the
printed recollection of ink Lovett assembles a sequence of still image streams emphasizing
the importance of visual discernment, analogue concentration, emphasizing the slowness of
looking.
The Scene
"The Scene" is an emotionally charged exhibition that serves as a raw and intimate exploration of loss, regret, and the devastating impact of suicide. Through a series of installations, artist Cobi tfj Bosch invites visitors to step into the deeply personal space where they received the heartbreaking phone call informing them of their brother's tragic decision. This exhibition aims to raise awareness about mental health, particularly among men, while providing a cathartic and healing experience for the artist and viewers alike.
Running from November 3rd - December 1st
The Point of Incidence
This installation and dance-film works by Amber Liberté, examine the complexity and quietness of reflection, and the intrinsic connection to things outside of ourselves, and them to us, whether we are aware of this or not.
“the way we perceive the world is very much a reflection of our inner worlds:
the people in it / the landscape surrounding us / the different cultures / the environment / the state of things / the art we respond to / the people we cross paths with / our habitats and habits / the cultures we carry / the environments we’re surrounded by / the continual internal and external shifting state of things
we are a mirror image to all living things,
while they reflect our inner worlds back to us”
