Overview
The uncanny is defined as something familiar being made unfamiliar. Cast your mind back to the star of the '80s horror film series Child's Play, as Chucky is a perfect example of the uncanny at work. The uncanny doesn't have to always be frightening (or hilarious), but it is definitely always intriguing!
If you're fascinated by this state of unsettlement, step into an eerily familiar world where nothing is as it seems at the the Judith Wright Centre's latest artistic offering, Uncanny. Presented by the centre and Flying Arts, this interesting exhibition is designed to highlight and celebrate the weird and wacky in our everyday lives.
The exhibition was created by seven emerging curators and seven Queensland artists who represent the uncanny in their artwork. Various mediums such as video, sculpture and photography will be exhibited. The featured artists include Rachael Bartram, Kate Bernauer, Gerwyn Davies, Dan Elborne, Pirrin Francis, Jason Haggerty and Sarah Oxenham.
