Open Daze exhibition
as part of Griffith University OPEN DAY, Sunday 10 August 2008
OPEN DAZE features artforms that address artist and viewer thresholds, and invites you to stay comfortable and relaxed!
Ways by which we can be manipulated by feeling and emotion, at the hands of an artist, are central to the understanding of perception, and what lurks beneath it.
On show are drawings, paintings and moving image work that interrogate a bewildering range of emotions and reasoning.
In the case of several works it is the confessional, self-deprecatory or physical extreme of the artist that tests our limits.
From coolly detached candour, comic book, or dreamlike states, to direct admonishment or unease sourced from real events, several of these artists will leave you dazed, but not confused, about art’s profound agency.
They raise the possibility of not only having an automatic reaction to such work, but of knowing whether that reaction has certain objectives.
Featuring recent graduates of Queensland College of Art, and works from the Griffith University Art Collection:
JANICE KUCZKOWSKI TONY ALBERT DAVIDA ALLEN
RICHARD BELL GORDON BENNETT AARON BURTON
DALE FRANK SUE GUILFOYLE VERNON AH KEE
BEA MADDOCK MATT MALONE EMMA McLEAN
