Observe

Overview

Living in a sensory world, the most exercised sense in modern life is that of sight. As such, not only do other lesser-used senses become more sensitive through lack of use, but our sense of sight is so powerful, it is coloured by our own perceptions, understandings and experiences.

As we so often switch between participant and observer, it is interesting to examine the latter. How we receive visual information is entirely up to the individual. How we interpret this can provide an opportunity for the individual to learn about the way they perceive the world around them, opening up the space between the observer and what is being observed. Welcome to the exhibition wherein artists respond to this very idea.

Observe, presented by Alexander Jackson Wyatt, accompanied by diverse responses from Alrey Batol, Rachael Archibald and Kiah Reading, will be a sensory experience, designed to not just lull you into another artistic plane, but look inward at your own individual responses in a way that might reveal more than the works in front of you.
