'The Offing'

Again I’m working with images taken on road trips to/and in the Australian outback. This time it’s the horizon that interests me. Surrounded and overcome by the expanse, the isolation and quietness of a never-ending landscape, it (the horizon) imposes the realisation of one’s insignificance.

At times the horizon, visually presented itself as relentless and monotonous: north, south, east and west. 360 degrees. Visually almost identical. The horizon was to be a destination. A place to aim for. However, in reality it’s a destination to be observed only and disappointingly, a destination forever beyond reach. Trying to reach this, that or any horizon is a futile endeavour. As soon as you reach your horizon a completely new horizon opens in front of you: an optimistic cruelty.

Cruel Optimism, a concept given to the phenomenon of engagement with a false but present moment: the holding up of hope and ultimately rendering a longed-for outcome, (in this case the horizon), unattainable. One is forever destined to be before the horizon.

Ideas gleened and manipulated from,

Lauren Berlant’s book ‘‘Cruel Optimism’.

My apologies,

sf

CAN'T LOOK BACK  shows a body of work that has been developed over the last couple of years, focusing on the inevitability of change. 

One could say that the mechanism of metamorphosis is the only element of life that never changes. The journey of very individual, every country, every historical epoch, of the entire universe and all it contains, is nothing but a series of changes, at times subtle, at times deep, without which we would stand still. The moments of transition, in which something changes, constitute the backbone of us all. Whether they are a salvation or a loss, they are moments that we tend to remember. They give a structure to our existence. Almost all the rest is oblivion.

Jhumpa Lahiri. 'In Other Words'.

THE MOTOR SHOW opens Friday 31st July, 6-8pm

Open 11am - 5pm Sat 1^st August to Sunday 16^th August
 

Coordinated by Linden Braye, Sue Callanan and Emma Wise

Artists: Tania Alexander, Linden Braye, Sue Callanan, Sach Catts, Janine Clark, Steven Fasan, Ursula Frederick, Justin Henderson, Noelene Lucas, Mad Mick, Brenton Alexander Smith, Anke Stäcker, David Watson, and Emma Wise.

The Sydney Motor Show isn’t on this year so come to The Motor Show 2015 instead!

The show draws inspiration from its site – a former car repair workshop located amongst the car yards of Parramatta Road – and, taking the car as its point of departure, travels through nostalgia, the materiality of the motor, the crash, and the symbolic realm of the automobile.

Works range from installation and video to performance, sound and photography. At least two actual cars will be in the show, including a vintage Cord (and knowledgeable owner).
