Horizons and Aphorisms
Institute for Modern Art / Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane
An installation by Brisbane artist Jondi Keane will leave the viewer wondering where the architecture of the gallery ends and the art within the gallery begins. For the month of September, Jondi Keane will present his wall paintings in gallery 2 at the IMA. Using text, projections and the architecture of the gallery, Jondi will create a series of works that 'react' as the patron moves through the space.
An installation by
Brisbane artist Jondi Keane will leave the
viewer wondering where the architecture of
the gallery ends and the art within the gallery
begins.
For the month of September, Jondi Keane
will present his wall paintings in gallery 2 at
the IMA. Using text, projections and the
architecture of the gallery, Jondi will create a
series of works that 'react' as the patron
moves through the space.
Arranging freestanding lamps through the
gallery, Keane provides a responsive
environment, which reorientates the viewer
within its changing frame...A main focus is to
emphasise or produce awareness in the
person that they are often in a fix, asked to
choose between conscious category and
sensory orientation.
As installation, Jondi Keane's wall paintings
seem to occupy the juncture of cinema,
architecture and painting. It is like cinema
but not. It is like architecture but not. It is
like painting but not...Light defines and
redefines the surfaces of walls with layers of
illusion. Because Keane has painted and
written on the walls to emphasise the
'images' created by the falling light, it's
difficult to ascertain what is real. The viewer
is immersed in an interactive environment as
if in some kind of inclusive virtual reality.
The exhibition Horizons & Aphorisms is part
of a body of creative research which will be
further developed in late 2000 through a
residency with Arakawa and Gins at their
architectural studios in New York City.
