Overview

Celebrate the rebirth of Brisbane art-hub Boxcopy, as they launch their Petrie Terrace gallery space with fitting exhibition, New Dawn.

The pop-culture driven art scene has long found heart in the energetic pursuit of working from the extraterrestrial and new age. No artist though, has pursued it in more divergent a medium than Chris Howlett in his latest exhibit, New Dawn. As exemplary multi-tasker, skilled in everything from installation, performance, sound art and digital modding, Howlett has a express willingness to engage with big themes and issues other artists would find to daunting – New Dawn shows he is indeed a man with no fear.

This stage of New Daw will consist of a three channel machinima projection which conflates popular myths surrounding near death experiences, extraterrestrial encounters, UFO sightings and new age spirituality, all entwined with the conspiracy theories, then neatly mapped onto the medieval, magical video game Skyrim.

The exhibit will be showcased from the 24th of August to the 14th of September – don’t miss the opportunity to witness, question and be mildly confronted by the daring work of Chris Howell.
