Cumming, Laura Turner and Joe Florio, Christina Lucia, Giuffrida, Aaron Moore
The Hidden Gesture displays work that communicates the unintentionally
expressed and the intentionally unexpressed. These artists recognise the
inevitable collapse and failure that accompanies probing into the available
means of conveying intent – with a strong focus towards, yet not exclusive to,
the body – through art. Inevitably each action reveals and conceals elements of
our identity and the messages we wish to disseminate about ourselves and
others. As identities and perspectives are in constant flow, these works aim to
analyse how what is present and absent through intention transitions to its
culminated artistic products and what that declares about artistic agency.
