The threat of approaching apocalypse has created a chasm of energy. Whether you are a believer or cynic, this series of exhibitions invites the viewer to consider the sublime possibilities of our future. Curated by Meghann Wilson, Hannah Smith and Adele Sliuzas, THE END SUITE takes the form of three exhibitions at Format Gallery over the months of October, November and December, 2012. The exhibitions will feature work by Michelle Dixon, Dane Hirsinger, Jack Landridge Gould, Claire Marsh, Nick Moss, Riley O’Keeffe, Kate Power, Fiona Roberts, Hannah Smith and Meghann Wilson. The End, as an overarching theme of the suite takes the idea of the end of the world as a starting point for a future in art.
The Beginning of The End presents
the work of two artists working within the field of sculpture, Claire Marsh and
Fiona Roberts. Both Marsh and Roberts produce works that question states of the
body; transience, fragility and metamorphosis. Within this exhibition they will
be questioning how the body reacts to trauma, and to the anxiety of the
possible end. Through processes of visual and physical mutations,
Marsh talks about what she calls “the
silent, the creaturely and the horror of the self.” Roberts’ work responds
to change, decay and regeneration both physical and mental, often referencing
the cyclical force of nature.
