Zones of Contact
"Zones of Contact" is about the spaces
in which people live in and move between, the spatial dimensions of cities,
settlements, territories, the land and home. The work refers to the temporal
dimensions of those spaces, the body, everyday life, places in which
people encounter one another and other cultures and sense of self and
their histories. Working through visual and sensory forms of
reflection - including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, fabric
and stitching, photography, video, film, performance, voice and
sound - the artists explore local and trans-cultural encounters with the
world. They address the legacy and memories of living within these zones
of contact or seek to define a space in which the viewer may perceive
the contours of an aesthetic utopia.
