PICTURE THIS - PRIMAVERA 2004

CURATED BY VIVIENNE WEBB

MCA - MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
SYDNEY

“While many of the artists explore the ability of everyday objects and materials to convey and disrupt meaning, others utilise traditional artistic materials such as paint and paper. This exhibition offers the opportunity to examine the presence of three-dimensional work in current artistic and cultural contexts in the light of artistic precedents such as Minimalism, in which objects are presented devoid of cultural references; Pop Art, which engages popular culture with 'high art'; and Arte Povera, which addresses the intrinsic nature and poetic possibilities
of materials.”

COLLABORATION WITH LESLIE EASTMAN

REFLECTIVE FILM AND STEEL FRAMES

CONICAL GALLERY
MELBOURNE

POINTFORM is a collaborative spatial installation by Leslie Eastman and Natasha Johns-Messenger. The immediate space of Conical is both the subject, and the spectacle, of the work. Large reflective surfaces re-direct familiar walls, windows and surfaces, placing them elsewhere in the gallery, in the perception of the participant viewer.

"Drift privileges the viewer as the unfixed, active interpreter and often-crucial component of these complex images, devices and installations. If Drift positions technological advancement as both inevitable and intrinsic, where are we at right now? What futures are we drifting towards?"
