An anonymous Poet once said,
"I believe that imagination is more important then knowledge"
We have filled the gallery with work that will excite, bemuse, enchant, disturb and generally cause the mind and heart to race in all directions. Within the "Salon of Infectious Ideas" there is a wall of miniatures, the distilled essence. Big ideas in small forms fill the cabinets of curios, masterful works in the miniature, condensed 3D ideas that will seduce and amuse while delivering their dose of ideas deep into our psyche.
Centre stage the place to contemplate the Salon of Infections Ideas, the beguiling augmented furniture sculptures by Margarita Sampson and the conceptually mournful work of Susanna Strati. Sampson's chairs will have you in stitches and more, you may be enticed to dance, (there is a mirror ball involved). The suggestion of a table within the salon is filled by the deeply personal and poignant work of Strati, with its 120,000 sewing pins and graphite holding the weight of love and loss, it anchors the space in a reality not easy to escape.
The talented Tom Christophersen has created a quintessential portrait titled "Epicine" - her penetrating gaze and ambivalent gender haunt the space. Above the mantelpiece is "Grampian" a work by painter Denis Clarke, this work shows Clarke's unique and fluid brush, in this depiction of the Australian bush Clarke captures an erotic sensual image of the bush.
This is a must see exhibition and one that promises to stimulate and provoke; we invite you to come and engage with the many ideas presented.
