Adrift in the Void
Adrift in the Void stems from video footage recorded by a miniature camera hidden inside sunglasses, developed during a residency at Casa Tres Patios, Medellín, Colombia. The footage was filmed in public spaces without people’s knowledge or consent, then transformed into fiction through narrative voice-over. The narration adapts quotes from Haruki Murakami, Philip K. Dick and Paul Auster in combination with writing by the artist. Unsuspecting people become actors and “reality” becomes “fiction” through imagining small episodes in people’s day-to-day life.
January 27 – February 27
Designed by new kids on the block Hammocks and Honey, and painstakingly crafted by accessory label PHILOS-o-FACE, the sculptural pieces featured in The Art of Fashion straddle the art, craft and fashion trajectory in a unique, and kind of creepy, way.Using repetition to engage with the tensions between mechanical reproduction and the post GFC preoccupation with the handmade, the work also plays with ideas of fan culture, image saturation and memorabilia while challenging the once static categories of wearable jewellery and art object. This is the first in a series of collaborations between the label and band.
December 17 – January 26
