Gallery X2
Cameron Bishop and Simon Reis
In the middle of a strange and amorphous shape comes clarity. A gallery allows for the emergence of certain objects and phrases; itself becoming an object within the cultural framework it sits. The gallery, in-turn, begets certain phrases that legitimize and perpetuate it affecting the meaning of whatever is exhibited inside of it. Bishop and Reis replicate a gallery inside a gallery so that the gallery and the viewer become the objects of display.
Generally, Bishop and Reis look to unseat the viewer from their stable foundations, architecturally, psychologically and culturally, arguing that the regime of signs that support notions of who-we-are can be displaced by destabilising the spaces we have come to place so much faith in, including the art gallery.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88’…you’re gonna see some serious shit
Christopher Dolman
My work, as part of an ongoing interrogation of the tradition of printmaking, utilizes lowbrow materials and ad-hoc methods to make explicit a contingent surface and revere institutional faux pas. If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88’…you’re gonna see some serious shit, uses the futurities of the past to make comment on the derivative nature of novelty and the ironic derogation of retro.

Button Pusher
Tanya Ungeri
Like trying to navigate a minefield without a metal detector, ‘Button Pusher’ examines the undetonated time-bombs that shatter the delicate fragility of our internal world, from those we love, those we fear, and those we don’t even know. Whether it be the silent treatment, a tirade of bad language, dirty looks or mean gossip, you have no clue how, what, where or when it’ll hit you, you just know it’s coming. Your buttons are about to get ‘pushed’ by both the nemesis on screen and the nemesis within.
19 October – 5 November
Opens 19 October 6pm–8pm
Down by the River
Amy-Jo Jory
“All things considered, being shot is not as bad as I always thought it might be. As long as you can keep the fear from your mind. I guess you could say that about most anything in life. It’s not so bad as long as you can keep the fear from your mind.”
Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks (2.1)
Down by the River is a project that implements sound, video, and performative actions to hint at a latent threat of violence.
19 October – 5 November
Opens 19 October 6pm–8pm
Problems with the location
Laura Delaney
Problems with the location frames the act of seeing as a constant shift in perceptual error. Delaney translates discrepancies in perception into assemblages of drawings and found materials to suggest multiple planes of reality grafted together.
