Eclipse (return) opens Friday 21 June 6-8pm

PRESS RELEASE

ECLIPSE (return)  opens at Articulate project space on Friday 21 June 6-8pm, and is open Friday - Sunday (11am-5pm) until 7 July.

Artists' talks 2pm Saturday 22 June. 

Eclipse (return) shows the work of Kate Beckingham, Emma Hamilton, Therese Keogh and Amanda Williams, and their reflections on the place of the image in contemporary art practice. The exhibition brings together disparate practices to explore the potentiality of photography through sculptural experimentation and the space that exists between the real and unreal within the photographic image. Mixing traditional photomedia with sculptural practices, Eclipse (return) suggests an 'other place' where time and space compress and photographic processes expand through a translation of the interstitial. The artists engage in the potential of an expanded photography, exploring concepts of time and space to investigate the tensions that arise through a dislocation of history, technology, reality and matter within the idea of the 'image'.

Margaret Seymour's Tracker previews on Saturday 8 and 15 June 11–5pm.

TRACKER is a new robotic work about power and surveillance in contemporary society. In Margaret Seymour’s work, three ‘video objects’ follow people around the gallery. Each moving object also shows an interactive image of feet walking. Shot in the style of a film noir, the work examines a contemporary issue but uses surveillance techniques more commonly seen in movies and spy novels.

Like a shady private detective or perhaps an unwanted suitor, the TRACKERs tail the viewer but also try to keep their distance. 

Saturday 8 and 15 June 11am-5pm
