What Lies Beneath

Ben Joseph Andrews & Emma Roberts, Tully Arnot, Robyn Backen, Denis Beaubois, Gail Priest and John Tonkin.

Curated by Robyn Backen and John Tonkin. Submerge yourself in the idea of immersion in this exhibition curated by collaborative team Robyn Backen and John Tonkin. While the re-emergence of VR over the last ten years has led to a renewed interest in the notion of immersion, artists have long engaged with a diverse range of creative practices that might be considered immersive—writing, installation, soundscapes and so on. What Lies Beneath features immersive works by artists that engage with physical and/or virtual spaces. There are other threads that run through the works. Many of them engage with perception and bring attention to the act of seeing and listening. Spoken language and the recollection of memory are other common elements. You can wander both physically and virtually through different multisensory somatic spaces imagined by seven Australian artists. Opening Wednesday 6 August, 6pm–8pm.
