Exhibition Blurb
For thousands of years, people have looked to the stars and the sky for mapping and wayfinding, to tell and share stories, and to try to understand our place in the infinite universe. Across different time periods and geographies, people have sought the spiritual through the celestial and identified constellations to orientate themselves within something monumental and unfathomable. We are guided by the sun and the moon, through the changing light of day, and the rise and fall of the tides. This exhibition brings together six artists whose work considers our relationship to the cosmos, translating the immense scale of cosmic time and space into tangible moments.
Curated by Katherine Dionysius and Amy-Clare McCarthy. Proudly supported by Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Artists: Ali Bezer, Anastasia Booth, Sundari Carmody, Kinly Grey, Jenna Lee and Lisa Sammut.
“As there is a shadow of every form and as there is a re-echo of every sound and as there is a reflection of every light, so there is a re-impression of everything one sees, hears, or perceives. But as it wants the musician's ears to sense the overtone of a sound and an artist's eyes to recognize the form from its shadow, and as it requires a keen sight to distinguish the degree of the reflection of light, so it wants the soul of a seer to see through all things in life…The average tendency is to see on the surface.”
