The Breakup

Overview

We all know how gruelling a breakup can be. Plain awkward at best, the experience is more usually fraught with painful decisions that range from who gets to keep that Breaking Bad box-set you bought together to the very Gen-Y dilemma: to unfriend or not to unfriend?

Though breaking up is a very personal experience, it's also a universal one, which is what makes the new exhibition at Redfern's artist-led space 107 Projects all the more powerful. Curated by Luke Letourneau, The Breakup will showcase the works of 11 emerging artists from both Sydney and overseas, including Syed Faraz Ali, Brenton Alexander Smith and Lucy Zaroyko.

The works express a variety of personal breakup experiences through different artistic media, while sharing similar themes of uncertainty and emotional displacement. Though probably not a show to see if such feelings are still fresh, The Breakup makes for an intimate viewing of reactions our post-breakup selves can all relate to.

Head along at 6-8pm on Wednesday, July 23, to enjoy the opening.
