Juliet Rowe
Showing: 4-21 September 2013
GALLERY 1
Juliet Rowe graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2011 after completing her Bachelor of Fine Arts (honours) in Drawing. Her work blurs the lines of art, craft and design as she exploits a vast range of materials and techniques often in unorthodox ways. She has participated in shows at West Space, Seventh, Trocadero and Platform Contemporary and was apart of the 2011 Penthouse Mouse for Loreal Melbourne Fashion Week. (Growing up her family did not have a car and she does not yet know how to drive)
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.

Monotony
Agnes So, Amy May Stuart, Masato Takasaka.
Curated by Alison Lasek.
Showing: 4-21 September 2013
GALLERY 2
The title 'Monotony' is not to be taken too literally. The work of each of these three artists captures lyricism in the everyday and poetry of looking again. In the words of Gertrude Stein, “there is no such thing as repetition, only insistence”.
Agnes So tests the functionality of everyday objects in a series of choreographed performances. Recurrence grants multiple views and places the artist body into a position where it begins to replicate the role of the object itself.
Permanently on a treasure hunt, Amy May Stuart finds fascination in often overlooked aspects of lived experience. Collected images of handwritten ‘Cash Only’ signs draw attention to both their similarities and their differences.
Masato Takasaka revisits and reconfigures his own earlier artworks and returns to what’s in storage as an antidote to continual production. A bootleg recording of an exhibition of a bootleg recording of an exhibition opens this practice up, and reframes his work yet again, while simultaneously allowing things to break down just a little.

Within a Room
Kate Price
Showing: 4-21 September 2013
GALLERY 3
Price presents the viewer with a space of reflection. A pine framework lining the floor of the space is enmeshed with painted figurative and abstracted forms. This new flooring could be seen to appear as a point of construction that harbours remnants or residues of the people and activities that had once resided there. This project aims to highlight how a space is embedded with a history and how within this is a description of the symbiotic relationship that exists between the space itself and the people that lived, worked or passed through it.
Kate Price lives and works in Melbourne. In 2010 she successfully completed her Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) degree at the RMIT and returned in 2012 to complete her Bachelor of Art (Fine Art) Honours. She has lived and worked in Utrecht, Holland both in 2010 and 2011 and has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions in Melbourne and Utrecht, Holland.
This project is supported by an Australian Artists’ Grant. The Australian Artists’ Grant is a NAVA initiative, made possible through the generous sponsorship of Mrs Janet Holmes à Court and the support of the Visual Arts Board, Australia Council for the Arts.
