September at Black Swan Arts
|
|
Title: Volkhardt Müller – The Plantation
8 September – 6 October, Long Gallery
Preview: 7 September, 6-8pm – all welcome – all welcome
‘The Plantation’ is an exhibition of video, mixed media and print. From the winner of 2017 Art Open, Solo Show Prize, chosen by the Black Swan Arts Programming Group.
Unlike the self contained pastoral idyll, the plantation is trimmed to maximize one crop. Its principle is perpetual repetition and it refuses a frame. The plantation is needy and connected, fragile and overwhelming. Its effects are all around us, but it is not something we commonly choose to enjoy.
