More or Less

Overview

More or Less is a group exhibition about the relationship between scale, quantity and the awe in the home.

Five Canberra-based artists each present two stages of work across three display houses. More is an installation that fills a space with energy, presence and awe. Bigger than its parts, its abundance pushes you back to take in its entirety. Less is a singular work from that same series given room to breathe. Its intimacy pulls you closer to find the detail within the whole.

Between unreliable natural light, awkward powerpoints, and dark interiors, the home becomes the gallery, and every room makes this case differently.

Is more more? Is less more? Or can one work hold the weight of the whole?
