NEW DIGITAL ARTS GALLERY EXHIBITION COMING SOON - 04 AUGUST 2008

MAYUMI KIMURA PLAYBACK

Kimura employs photography and video as vehicles of expression to question the excessive power of the media in contemporary society. More precisely, her work makes a critique of the media's influence on our identity. Her video works often uses images of movie heroines and images of herself that momentarily overlap and separate from each other. In this way the work highlights the acts of performing making oneself perform and observing oneself performing. It also reveals the unstable psychology that underlies these acts.

ALSO

IVAN SMITH PENNY BLACK

Smith works from the point of view of a sculptor across a wide range of medium and materials from large scale sculptural installations to up-close-and-personal photographic interventions and video works. Smith's work is contextualised through his ongoing relationship with the site-specific traspassing and underpinning the urban landscape with direct action/reaction between artwork and audience driving a clear desire to confront contemporary issues social order and the transparent borders within which societies exists.
