Opening Reception: Fiona Annis Steve Kean
THE STARS ARE DEAD BUT THEIR LIGHT LIVES ON
Fiona Annis
The stars are dead but their light lives on reflects the impulse to scavenge amongst obsolete technologies and to re-animate these dated apparatuses with the after-image of dead stars. In a dark exhibition space live data processing triggers countless lightbulbs to the rhythms of exploding supernova, and the sounds of stars being swallowed by black holes slowly erodes the slick surface of magnetic audiotape. The exhibition engages in the interpretation of specialist knowledge and the potential of repurposing archival stock.
The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Nives Hajdin

SPINA BIFIDA - FRONT TO BACK
Steve Kean
Steve Kean presents images of the backs of his subjects as a way to show the cause of the difficulty, strife, physical and emotional pain of Spina Bifida. Yet, he intends to show the defect in a beautiful way as a metaphor for how those living with this condition manage to find purpose and live with passion.
