Sydney-based artists, David Haines & Joyce
Hinterding, are widely known for their dramatic
audiovisual installations. Working independently,
but often in collaboration, Haines & Hinterding
bring sound and video together to explore the
natural world and its seemingly invisible
energies. Hinterding creates recordings of
magnetic fields and other natural phenomena that
combine with Haines' video installations to
create a complex universe of moving landscapes,
mysterious interfaces and ghostly transmissions.
'Imagine a multi screen projection - you are
inside a pine forest - you are able to watch the
forest under siege from itself. Its like you are
being attacked by the trees. A strange
electromagnetic dust of sound and electricity
fills the space.'
Opening: Wednesday 8 February, 6pm

Sub-terrain
Group exhibition
Sub-terrain, a group exhibition curated by Hannah Mathews
Sub-terrain brings together a selection of
Western Australia's leading contemporary artists
under the 2006 Perth International Arts Festival
thematic of 'earthly delights'. These artists,
whose work draws on a diverse range of media, are
linked by their interpretation of the urban and
rural landscapes of our vast state. From the
spinifex of Kununura and the colour fields of
suburban Perth's backyards to the use of organic
materials, the work of these artists reflects the
often subconscious yet significant relationship
the distinctly West Australian terrain demands of
us all.
Artists include Paddy Bedford, Julie Dowling,
Derek Kreckler, Matthew Ngui, Alwin Reamillo,
Juha Tolonen and others.
