Attuned to the darker sides of the mind and the spirit, 8 contemporary Australian artists respond to the anxiety of the future with the melancholy of the past. Contrasting new mediums and old, this multifarious showcase of artworks is gathered together in joyous celebration of the dark night of the soul. Iconic artist BERNHARD SACHS presents one of the centrepieces of the exhibition, a vast assemblage constructed from the diary pages of his youth. An inspiration for many of the artists exhibiting in As Long as the Night is Dark, Sachs explores the inscrutable process of the ownership of history, its existential thematics and their obsessional underwriting. Renowned for her practice in photography, LINSEY GOSPER deconstructs identity and has an interest in the fields of the occult and magick. Her images can be exemplified in the striking and foreboding large pigment print 'The Mouth of Hell'. The paintings of eminent JANENNE EATON question the role of visual arts in the processes of social change, social justice and empowerment. Here in As Long as the Night is Dark, Eaton’s dark yet glittering works mingle enamel and mirrors. In the space between construction and deconstruction, JORDAN WOOD’s contorted ceramic heads evoke a landscape of doomed and purgatorial souls. The unsettling warping of materials is also central to the large work of TALITHA KENNEDY, whose obsessive hand stitched animal skins summon uncanny sculptural spells. Using found material, CHRISTIAN BISHOP’s multimedia installation gives the experience of trespassing into a traumatic memory. Working on large scale acrylic, ADAM BOYD draws from the depths of the subconscious mishandling form and language, to evoke phantasmagorical Rorschach maps of skewed time. Juxtaposing the monumental is the concise miniature suite of graphite drawings by DAN PRICE. Describing the atmosphere of the exhibition that he has brought together, Pericich says, “Take comfort in hopelessness cos we are all in this beautiful mess together.” The exhibition will be accompanied by a 333-page zine-style catalogue co-corrupted by TRAVIS JOHN who also helped with putting the thing online at http://as-long-as-the-night-is-dark.tumblr.com/ ___________________________ READ Sheridan Coleman in Art Guide Australia >> http://artguide.com.au/as-long-as-the-night-is-dark ___________________________ MARS Gallery 7 James Street, Windsor, Victoria www.marsgallery.com.au
