Castlemaine Art Museum (CAM) invites the community to the launch of the latest Terrace Projection installation Jesse Boylan’s ‘At the end of the day’, and the opening of the next Orbit exhibition by Tara Gilbee ‘Ellipses’ Friday evening, February 3.
Terrace Projection ‘At the end of the day’ is a new video work by local artist Jesse Boylan who asked staff working in Dhelkaya Health (Castlemaine Health), as well as residents of Penhall Hostel (Aged Care), about what they think goes unseen in their daily lives and work. In a kind of ‘behind the scenes’ set up, Boylan has created a series of silent video portraits.
In the latest ‘Orbit’ exhibition ‘Ellipses’ describes both the subject and material process of Tara Gilbee’s work. The photographic apparatus and employed processes embody the idea of disturbance, the elliptical framing, with blurred and out-of-focus sections and sharp striations of light breaking through the camera and frame. Historic sites are represented as psychological ‘grey zones’ and connected to contemporary carceral complexes as places of deep trouble.
The event will begin at 6pm. Entry is free and drinks and light refreshments will be provided. The opening is proudly supported by the Australian Government RISE Fund, Besen Family Foundation, Boomtown Wine, and Love Shack Brewing Company.
