Location:

Inflight Gallery

Price:

Free

Start:

6:00 pm

This work is a peaceful contemplation – at once personal and universal (or, rather, neither personal nor universal). It contemplates the commonly and questionably held notion of time in linear trajectory. A highly personal and physical experience is reconsidered some twelve years after the act. The physical reference remains, body and soul change. If a part of me (then) remains in me (now) what is the measure by which we grow? How do we mark this passage in art? What can an artwork make of (into) time?

Exhibitions run from April 4th - April 26th

Gallery open Wed - Sat, 1-5pm

Artist:

Jordana Maisie

Location:

Inflight Gallery

Price:

Start:

6:00 pm

Professional Voyeur explores the power of surround sound to shift space both emotionally and physically. Overhearing a cut-up monologue of a woman’s most intimate thoughts on men, sex, self, emotion and desire, the sound-scape which is built around and into the spoken word, immerses the audience in a voyeuristic space as it literally surrounds them. The story is designed to loop, fragmenting and then remixing parts of the woman’s story. The audience is given the task of individually piecing these parts together, enforcing the idea of perception.
