Passing Between - Jessica Meuninck-Ganger and Nathaniel Stern. Gallery AOP Kinnickinnic, lithograph + LCD video, 255 x 355 x 50 mm Passing Between
Nathaniel Stern and Jessica Meuninck-Ganger 30 January 2010 - 27 February 2010 Opening Saturday 30 January from 12:00 to 16:00 Opening address by Prof. Christo Doherty, Wits Digital Arts, at 12:30 The artists will be in attendance at the opening Walkabout on Saturday 6 February at 12:00 The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue and DVD About the Work Jessica Meuninck-Ganger and Nathaniel Stern approach both old and new media as form. In their "Distill Life" works, the artists permanently mount translucent prints and drawings directly on top of video screens, creating moving images on paper. They incorporate technologies and aesthetics from traditional printmaking - including woodblock, silk screen, etching, lithography, photogravure etc - with the technologies and aesthetics of contemporary digital, video and networked art, to explore images as multidimensional. Meuninck-Ganger and Stern hack and tweak, shoot and print, appropriate and remix, edit and draw. Their juxtaposition of anachronistic and disparate methods, materials and content -print and video, paper and electronics, real and virtual - enables novel approaches to understanding each. The artists engage with subject matter ranging from historical portraiture to current events, from hyperreal landscapes to socially awkward moments. The works are surprising, wistful, enchanting, and seriously playful. http://nathanielstern.com http://jessicameuninck.com http://galleryaop.com Gallery AOP, 44 Stanley Avenue, Braamfontein Werf, Johannesburg South Africa Tuesday - Friday 10:00 - 17:00 Saturday 10:00 - 15:00 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
