Exhibition: Permeable Spaces

Thu 8 August 2019 - Fri 13 September 2019

Alison Richard Building

Alexandra Baraitser, Amanda Lwin, Clio Lloyd-Jacob, Louise Butler Adams, Melissa Pierce Murray, Tooney Phillips, Stephanie Kingston, Andrew James

Works in this exhibition reflect on or highlight through contrast, spaces where multiple stimuli vie for attention or coexist in precarious balance. To what extent do we internalise objects and walls as boundaries? How do they structure the narratives of our thought? How does the prevalence of reflective, glass and metal surfaces in contemporary environments affect our perception of space and of ourselves? What, in our surroundings, reflects our influence, and how do we cope when there seems to be nothing?

The viewer is encouraged to imaginatively inhabit these artworks, constructing their own narratives and responses. We are relating this artwork to a broader context, with a live art performance, and a cross-disciplinary discussion on various aspects of how societies create and use boundaries.
