GREY
When stirring the cauldron of love, there lies a murky grey mixture beneath the surface of passion, affection and excitement.
Grey is a group exhibition that brings together works of VCA artists exploring love, hate and physical connections.
This exhibition explores the complications in romance and relationships. When our bodies and actions don’t match our words, when our fantasies don’t match our reality, Grey questions what is held back - what is censored? Emotions and daydreams mix together with subtlety, innuendos and intimacy, creating a sea of confusion that washes up grey foam. Audiences are invited to consider their relationship with flesh and feelings.
Curated by Enya Hu, Adem Aquila, Django Nicol and Odessa Kemp, under the guidance of Bon Mott.
(Grey is Part One of two exhibitions- the second show, "Clarity," will be held @secondspaceprojects at a new location).
The artists and Dr Bon Mott would like to thank the @cityofmelbourne for their support with "Grey" criticalart and theory @vca_mcm, and special thanks to Dr Elizabeth Presa.
