Fresh Cut

Overview

Fresh Cut is just that: an exhibition showcasing Queensland’s freshest crop of artists, all of which have been cut from the local emerging art scene.

The Institute of Modern Art’s Director, Robert Leonard, has handpicked the exhibition’s artists, meaning audiences can expect to see some excellent art. This year’s crop features Sean Barrett, Antoinette J. Citizen, Yavuz Erkan and David Nixon.

Sean Barrett’s photography installation, The Gathering, showcases a selection of seemingly perfect photos, all placed out of context.

Antoinette J. Citizen, inspired by Mayan calendar predictions, has put together Project Alpha, in which she has played with film, Google Calendars and writing.

In his installation, Unorthodox Aphorisms, Yavuz Erkan has photographed himself enjoying a range of odd sensual experiences, such as holding a handful of jelly. Who knew?!

Finally, David Nixon’s video and photography installation, Immanence, plays with creating abstractions from everyday objects – like the good old plastic bag.
