Phenomenological experience of expanded cinema meets the immersive possibilities of light projection. The utopian opportunities opened up by Len Lye's 1935 hand-painted film A Colour Box are taken up with gusto by a multi-generational pool of artists including Len Lye, Dirk de Bruyn, Mike Leggett, Joan Brassil, Taree Mackenzie, Deirdre Feeney, Ellis D Fogg, Pia van Gelder, Hannah Gason, Ross Manning, Nicci Haynes and Teaching and Learning Cinema. Together, these artists celebrate the role of light, projection and performance in connection to the history and continuity of abstract and expanded cinema.
Curated by Associate Professor Martyn Jolly and Tony Oates.
This exhibition has been supported by the Visual Arts Endowment and the Gordon Darling Foundation Domestic Travel Grant.
