Within Deep Time: scratching the surface of the antipode
25 May – 7 June 2019
Swedish/Australian curators Nina Stromqvist and Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris present Within Deep Time: scratching the surface of the antipode, a screening program at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre. The exhibition aims to set in motion a set of unlikely strategies to connect the antipodes and underground realities of Sweden and Australia, countries that sit at opposite sides of the world, yet share parallel points of similarity and cultural echoes.
Featuring new works by Australian artists Haines and Hinterding and Sam Smith, and a video piece from Swedish artists Lina Selander and Oscar Mangione. The artists presented in this set of moving image works are internationally recognised as leading figures within the fields of aesthetic inquiry. The works demonstrate the textural capacity for imagining the geological strata, its plural histories, and potency from which to imagine new realities through the subterranean experience.
