Upcoming projects/exhibitionsFrom 6 September until 26 November 2022, resident artist Ali McCann will present her three-month research project on-site, Campus: A study of educational, domestic, and deep dark space (In perpetual flux), 2022.
Comprising new photographic and video works, found images and objects, the project continues Ali's longstanding inquiry into the constructed nature of photography and the possibilities of creating alternate visual and psychological realities.
At the centre is a fascinating examination of the theme of nostalgia and the art of 'autotopography', a term invented by historian Jennifer A. Gonzalez which describes the action of utilising objects to map the "self".
As her residency continues, Ali will create new works that extend her inquiries and expand the mode of her artistic field to encompass moving image, sound, sculpture, and performance, culminating in a special exhibit and event to be presented in November, what she describes as: A symbolic constellation of apophenia, or what the German psychiatrist Klaus Conrad describes as an "unmotivated seeing of connections (accompanied by) a specific feeling of abnormal meaningfulness.” —Ali McCann
