Indulge in stunning works by contemporary artists.
Overview
Join the exploration of how the human body perceives, interacts with and is affected by time in all its forms.
As part of Metro Arts’ Friday Night events, you can welcome your weekend by indulging in stunning works by contemporary artists; this upcoming round is created by Eleanor Jackson and Thomas Day, known as Ma Ya Ga Ng Re Ne.
Head along to Studio 3.1 (on level 3) for Jackson’s interactive installation, ‘Now You See Me’. This is a reactive and reflexive examination of queer pride, particularly that which is represented in the media. By shining a light on all the positives of the queer community, have they invited acceptance, or perhaps a perspective that suits insidious fiction rather than satisfying fact?
Then, in Studio 3.7, Ma Ya Ga Ng Re Ne (Thomas Day) performs his live presentation ‘Secrete Success’. By recreating the spaces and dynamics of a typical office environment, he replicates the situations of greater life. Repetition, the same daily activities, fuelled by repeating drives and expectations create engrained behaviours, all aligned to the notion of success. By addressing this craving for prosperity, he asks who can afford to fall short?
