Exhibition: The Spectral Lens
Overview
The Spectral Lens questions how aesthetic practices can represent (or interrogate) identity in an age of image flux and post-colonial review. Using strategies of ‘hauntology’ and the spectre, the artists consider contemporaneity as a site of complicit erasure and resurrection, where place is perceived as a complex habitation of ghosted pasts and presents.
These Hauntology's exist from within the present, the past and the future and offer alternative timelines and voices to recompose dominant historical narratives through methodologies of trace, refraction, distortion and diffusion. These strategies are recomposed or mediated into new spectral entities of affect and resistance.
Curated by Carolyn Craig and featuring the works of Carolyn Craig, Damian Dillon, Clare Humphries, Roy Lee, David Manley and Justine Roche.
