Gallery: Elective Galleries 1, 2 and 3 at Cadman Studio,
Exhibited and Curated by Amberle Dickson, Daniela Iannucci, Laura Cookson and Stacy Gibson
Date: 26/02/09
What is it about? Colours. And expect to see a lot of them, as the artists are expressing themselves through excitement and fusions of colour swirling in all elective galleries.
What’s Interesting? If you like the colours of the dirt spectrum, i.e. just the greys and browns, you are going to be either disappointed or have your eyes in wincing pain after a few minutes of browsing each piece. And I like how Amberle Dickson hung a few pieces that look like a pair of stylish designed handbags, which gave me a chuckle or two. And I really like Stacy Gibson’s circular piece, where it looks like a star has been born in the universe and Daniela Iannucci’s floor piece had a great layout on putting a painting piece of printed shoe prints on – it feels like I want to walk on that!
What’s Not So Interesting? Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending if you are a colour blinded person), I didn’t have my camera, due to some technical difficulties, i.e. dead battery that needs recharging. Strangely, I felt strangely ill, whenever I look at Stacy Gibson’s works and Iannucci’s acid-trip pieces. And I was a bit distracted, when the tag positioning was ill-placed below the works itself.
Overall? Very beautiful and colourful exhibition, only slightly let-down on getting the tag-labelling work well. Just don’t get your eyes very close to them.
