Collected Odysseys

Exhibition Friday 2 February to 4 March 2018 

Opening: Thursday 1 February, 6 - 8 pm

Collected Odysseys examines ‘journeying’ as a condition of contemporary life, in its positive and tragic aspects - duration, repetition, struggle, incompleteness, death, becoming – and the ways in which it is retold as story. Itinvites the audience to experience journeying on multiple levels, through two multimedia works that show the processes and pains of art-making.

Homer (2017) explores the epic journey of the Odyssey through a series of interwoven acts: durational performance, live sound architecture, and sculptural installation. In Biographies (2015), the audience partakes in an intimate, immersive, repetitive and painful experience of duration through the individual artistic journeys of a concert pianist and a young ballet dancer.
