Chromatic Syncopation at Firstdraft

Overview

Shaping up to be a standout exhibition is Chromatic Syncopation, opening at Firstdraft on March 3. It will feature three of our best contemporary artists — Reko Rennie, Ross Manning and Rebecca Baumann (of last year's Romance Was Born exhibition) — brought together for the first time.

Harnessing a range of different media, each artist engages with processes of reproduction and mechanisation. They also share a deft understanding of patterns and colour schemes. Curated by Consuelo Cavaniglia, this show aims to explore points of harmony and discord. You can probably expect whirring colours and kinetic sculptures — a bit like a deconstructed rainbow. Odds are it will be a dynamic and stimulating experience.

This event is one of our top ten picks of Art Month. Check out the other nine here.
