IAN FRANCIS – 10,000 YEARS FROM NOW

Posted on 2012-04-23

10,000 Years From Now examines the fragility of this lifetime in contrast to geological timescales.
Inspired by his fascination with the Internet and other technological forms of mass communication, Francis isolates popular scenarios from the present and examines their inherent fragility against collapsing architectural backdrops as they exist within digital formats. His latest body of work highlights the perilous nature of our constructed world and brings into focus the futility of our social legacy.

Francis continues to draw inspiration and raw material from cinema, pornography, street culture, and images sampled from the Internet, synthesizing these sources into a quasi-literal vision of the “mediated” landscape. Through his work he explores society’s obsession with popular culture and the detachment he personally undergoes in relation to this pervasive sense of societal collapse and impending apocalypse.

Exhibition runs from April 27th to May 24th, 2012

SCOTT MYLES – THIS PRODUCTION

Posted on 2012-04-23

This Production features significant new works including an expansive site-specific installation, new sculptures and a body of work produced with DCA Print Studio.

Displaced Façade (for DCA) is a dramatic new large-scale installation made from bricks that references built architecture and personal memory. Myles has created a brick wall separated into three segmented parts that align to appear as one complete structure depending on the viewer’s perspective. Analysis (Mirror) is a new sculpture consisting of bus shelters upturned one upon the other and painted with a highly reflective paint. An ongoing series of wall-based sculptures take their form from manilla document folders Myles himself uses in his studio. These have been enlarged to the artist’s height of 194cm, thus setting them in relation to the artist’s body while making reference to containers and systems of index.

Exhibition runs through to June 10th, 2012
