Description
Open Space presents Vertical Gallery, an exhibition by three dynamic emerging artists selected by judicator Marlaina Buch of The Maltwood Gallery. Nathan Brown, Judah Kong and Angela Teng contribute individual mixed media installations invoking playful reworkings/reconsiderations of everyday objects, memory and contemporary culture.
Nathan Brown’s Colourform compares the sterility of modernity and architecture with the disarray of their past and present evolving counterparts. Brown’s piece is site specific, allowing the viewer to experience the object’s relationship with the space
in which it is exhibiited. Angela Teng’s Laundry documents daily life through found objects. Fascinated with children’s ability to make art for the sake of making art, Teng frequently extracts from children’s drawings, borrowing their unique sensibilities and deft attention to borders and lines. Judah Kong’s Thought Dispenser conisders the value and potential disposablity of information. Thought Dispenser explores the subjective state of information, both its use value and its exhaustion.
Please join us on Thursday April 17, 5:30pm for an opening and light reception. Vertical Gallery runs until April 30
