Robyn Stuart: Breathing Room
Space, time, history, existence in the world, chaos theory and video installation work: Robyn Stuart has thought a little bit harder about Lake Eyre than most of us.
Overview
Do you understand the Poincaré recurrence theorem? You do? Yeah well whatever, I totally know things about art, so there! And alright yes I am being defensive about my lack of understanding of mathematics or science that isn't explained by David Attenborough or Thomas Pynchon, but also I am alluding to an element of Robyn Stuart's work: binaries, paradox, memory, and feeling small. By observing and documenting Lake Eyre, a body of water that contains water that was rainfall two million years ago(!), Stuart explores landscape as memory and the phenomenon that "certain volume-preserving physical systems will, after a sufficient length of time, return to a state very close to the initial state."
So there is space, time, history, existence in the world, chaos theory and video installation work. That is totally what always happens at university galleries, right?
