Opening at 6.00 pm Thursday 7 September 43-51 Cowper Wharf Road Woolloomooloo

There will be a performance by Franz Ehmann at the Opening.

Swell
PATRICIA PICCININI
Swell is an immersive video installation that focuses on the changing nature of space, commerce and migration through the vision of a turbulent, synthetic sea. One of a sequence of works that Patricia Piccinini has called the 'Wilderness Series', Swell examines the evolving concept of 'nature' in contemporary technological society. The sea has always been a potent metaphor for Piccinini; she considers it's depiction a way of examining the dissolution of traditional notions of space and new ideas of electronic space which increasingly define the 21st Century.
SWELL was made with the assistance of the Art Gallery of New South Wales

Anthem
NIKE SAVVAS
In this installation, Nike Savvas will be re-inventing the possibilities of painting and dematerialising notions of paint on canvas by employing the ephemeral medium of light. By emulating the form of some of the masterpieces of twentieth century painting, Savvas will be radically deconstructing them while at the same time letting them go. The light projections, like the coloured discs in Savvas' earlier work, will be destabilising the static quality of the paintings and blasting the 2 dimensional picture plane into dynamic colour environments.
ANTHEM has been sponsored by LIGHTSOUNDS

Extension
AHN PIL YUN (Korea)
Through a synthesis of Western art practice and her local cultural traditions, Ahn Pil Yun has explored the complexity of her Korean identity in the context of rapid globalisation and technological development. Extension is a video installation that incorporates references to Korean shamanistic rituals and symbolism. The tension between technological and traditional elements in her work addresses contemporary discourses on centre/periphery, translation and colonisation.
Ahn Pil Yun's visit has been sponsored by ASIANA AIRLINES & KOREA KWANG NYUN Co and has been assisted by the Office of the Consul General of the Republic of Korea

Almost There
FRANZ EHMANN
Through his installation and performance practice, Franz Ehmann questions whether viewers use art to analyse situations in their daily lives, and whether artworks can effect real change. Almost There will begin its life as a performance installation (opening night) and from there Ehmann hopes that the objects left in the space will trigger or offer a means of reflective retroaction for its audience.
