Current Exhibition DetailsGraham Bennett - LatitudeThe word latitude - with implications for measuring, charting and describing relationships in geography, astronomy, aeronautics, photography as well as its implications in social contexts relating to manner, disposition, posture, viewpoint, or freedom from restrictions - sums up many notions in Bennett’s work. A focus of this 2009 exhibition is the work Manipulate completed in November 2008 at the ZAIM Contemporary Art Space in Yokohama, Japan.Latitude promises more of the unique Bennett amalgam of precise contemporary technology with hands-on experimentation and low-tech attention to detail and surface nuances. Robin Woodward’s description of T.R.I.G., How Near, How Far? offers some general insight into this show where several works are reminiscent of technologies…. “of land marking, surveying and navigating. They prompt immediate questions – what are these objects? Are they measuring devices? Clearly they are making a stand, stating the importance of measurement. But exactly what do they measure – physical, cultural, social dimensions? Or is it the precarious health of the globe, environmental issues, land claims, global warming? ….. Is there a suggestion that although the issues may be global, they need to be, and can be, addressed locally?” Graham Bennett and the Arthouse Team thank Sherwood Wines for their generous support in celebrating the openings of Latitude in Japan 2008, and Greenstone Point Wines for Latitude at the Arthouse 2009. ; "Augur (detail)") ; "Latitude (detail)") ; "Abridge II") ; "Manipulate") ; "Constrain") ; "Expectation") ; "Grasp") ; "Manipulate (detail)") ; "Latitude") ; "A Part") ; "Latitude - Ed of 5") ; "Gauge") ; "Abridge I") ; "Augur") ; "Augur (tall)") ; "Plot") ; "Rig") ; "Rig - (Tall)") |
