ACP Previews

Telepathy

ACP — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:59:25 +1000

David Haines and Joyce Hinterding

Event Dates: 25 October 2008 - 29 November 2008

Telepathy is an installation that seeks to reboot the psyche, go in search of a few moments of lucidity and activate other processes within the mind that function better without the 'noise'.

The collaborative works of David Haines and Joyce Hinterding often gather energy. This one - using the structure of an anachoic chamber - pushes the energy away. Within this space Haines and Hinterding explore the possibility of locating an inner bodily shaped electrical field that is far gentler and at the same time, incredibly complex.

Chaos and Drama

ACP — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:57:44 +1000

Seng Mah

Event Dates: 21 September 2008 - 10 October 2008

Chaos and Drama is an exhibition of photographs of Greece by WA photographer, Seng Mah. The photographs externalise the internal landscape of isolation and dislocation felt by Mah, who travelled solo through Greece. His photographs present Greek settings and people in a different light, to show that photographing place is never about capturing the external world as seen ad nauseum in travel guides, postcards and souvenir pictures; it is about externalising the internal landscape and superimposing it over what is seen, what is deemed to be worthy of a picture and how that picture is made.

....like I saw in your dreams

Mu Okayama-Everitt

Event Dates: 22 October 2008 - 02 November 2008

... like I saw in your dreams is an exhibition of fine illustrative works and photography by Perth-based Japanese artist, Mu Okayama-Everitt. Incorporating aspects of 'lyashi-kei' girls from Japanese culture as well as elements of Zen Buddhism, in a surprising synergy with Perth-based models, this exhibition will excite the imagination and challenge viewers to consider whether they are living the life they dreamed of as children: whether they are the person they imagined themselves to be and whether they are happy and fulfilled by their identity.

Modern Ruin

ACP — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:41:31 +1000

Event Dates: 12 July 2008 - 12 October 2008

A rich vein of contemporary artistic practice revaluates the utopian dreams of the modern period. 'Modern Ruin' brings together artists and filmmakers who look back to modern art, architecture and design in order to visually and critically explore their historical failures. The works in the exhibition speak of living in the ruins of Modernism, translating a melancholy sense of dreams half-remembered, and examining the decay, detritus and self-effacing survivals of historical modernity.

The exhibition features film, video and installation works by artists and filmmakers including Chris Cornish, Stan Douglas, Manthia Diawara, Nina Fischer and Maroan El Sani, Andreas Fogarasi, Cyprien Gaillard, William Kentridge, Ann Lislegaard, David Maljkovic, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Ursula Mayer, Tracey Moffatt, Laurent Montaron, Deimantas Narkevičius, Susan Norrie, Anri Sala and Alain Tanner. The film program explores historical paradoxes and faultlines in the dream of progress and urban modernity and includes films by Michelangelo Antonioni, José Luis Guerín, Bill Morrison, Roberto Rossellini, Andrei Tarkovsky and Orson Welles.
