WED 12.06.13: ‘RESISTANCE’ BOOK LAUNCH

rs560

‘RESISTANCE’

Historically, we as humans have constantly yearned to take what isn’t ours. Not necessarily stealing an object, though marking something as your own. The thrill of doing something you aren’t meant to be doing, being somewhere you aren’t meant to be. As you explore restricted areas, invade another’s territory and take back what was previously declared their’s, graffiti fills that gnawing void and thirst for adrenaline.

Certain experiences are difficult to explain to a person that hasn’t encountered this sort of intimacy with adventure, though through the lens of a single Australian photographer, this has been made a feasible possibility. The images exposed in RESISTANCE take the reader by hand and mind, leading them personally through the adventure.

Many Australians live daily with the impacts of mental health issues both in their own lives and in the lives of those around them. The Biennial Art Award Exhibition held by Buckingham House, a mental health service based in  Surry Hills, celebrates the philosophy that whatever adversity is faced…Another Door Opens.

To be officially opened by the Deputy Lord Mayor Robyn Kemmis and judged by Phil Relf from Pine Street Creative Arts Centre, and Danielle Gulotta from the Art Gallery of New South Wales, this event will mark the coming together of the arts, community and mental health arenas.

THE TATE: THIS WED:22.05.13: MICHAEL AGZARIAN ‘CAIRO DAZE PORTRAITS OF A CITY’

agzarian

The enthusiasm, excitement and promise of the revolution two years ago has sadly, all but gone. This is no more evident than in the thousands of abandoned construction sites where massive apartment blocks are left empty, deserted – haunting silhouettes on the horizon. Even with all this uncertainty there’s something about Cairo (with its 9 million residents) that draws you in. It’s hard to define, but even in the face of tremendous uncertainty I found the people to be engaging and inspirational on many levels.

This exhibition is a reflection of their resilience.

THE TATE: WED:15.05.13: ‘”FRAGMENTS OF MYTHOLOGICAL DREAMS” BY SKOUNT

“FRAGMENTS OF MYTHOLOGICAL DREAMS”

An Exhibition of new paintings and installation by SKOUNT (ESP)
“Dreams are not just messages (coded messages, at that), but are also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination that has its own value. Dreams are proof that fantasies – emotional immersion in the visualization of events that have never and may never occur – are one of the profoundest necessities for human life. The characters that come from my imagination are my own possibilities, those that never came to bear, or those still on my horizon.” – Skount
Inspired by the classical Spanish theatre of his hometown, Skount’s oneiric masked characters beckon the viewer from the urban environment into their mysterious and playful dreamscapes. The great playwrights of Skount’s youth formed a lasting impression, where he regards life as a wonderful play, in which everyone has a role. Driven by the fundamental desire to free his own mind, Skount’s creativity knows no bounds. With a background in graffiti, his artistic expression spans paint, paper, music and performance, to video art, sculpture, and installation. Skount’s irrepressible curiosity for other cultures has inspired him to travel and study different forms of creativity and traditions around the world. Currently based in Amsterdam, Skount has worked and exhibited throughout Spain, Europe, China, Mexico, Israel and the United States.
Now for the first time in Australia, The Hours presents ‘Fragments of Mythological Dreams’, an exhibition of new paintings and installation by Skount. In this exhibition, inspired by Ancient Greek myths and legends, Skount presents a reality, drawing a relatively cohesive oneiric spectrum with mythology. Recounting a pictorial discourse by which we enter into a world of dreams, created to explain the universe, the origin of the world, natural phenomena and anything for which there is no simple explanation. Through this new body of work on canvas and paper, Skount investigates this complex philosophical world full of arguments about the nature, properties, causes and effects of natural things, especially the human being and the universe.
