Crossing Atmospheres
Default Collective, Joe Hamilton, Travis H Heinrich, Michael Meneghetti, UuDam Tran Nguyen, Zoe Scoglio
Curated by Simone Hine and Kyle Weise
Blindside, 15-25 June 2016
Crossing Atmospheres presents screen-based works by six artists who use the possibilities of video editing, digital compositing, sculpture and performance to explore the border between natural and synthetic environments. In doing so, the works express the permeability of this boundary and present their environments as a palimpsest, an accumulation of countless layers. The binary between an original nature and human intervention dissolves amongst the relentless flux of atmospheric conditions.
This exhibition was curated for Blindside as the 2016 iteration of their Screen Series program.
The catalogue essay is available online and as a pdf.
This exhibition was exhibited on unceded lands, and we acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of these places, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.
