WHEN : 8th – 25th Aug
WHERE : Metro Arts
Through aural, visual and written language, Chatter will explore how quotidian experiences and materials can potentially be recontextualised and reframed as visual art. It will consider how everyday life; conversations, relationships and incidental occurrences, may provide a space through which to explore the shifting and pluralistic role of language in Brandon’s practice. Through recorded conversations, journal entries and pop music, Chatter will playfully investigate the slippery space of language and its position as process and outcome, concept and material, fiction and reality.
Offering up her everyday life as a kind of case study, Brandon aims to engage in a conversation around autobiography in visual art and reflect on the ideas of authorship and intersubjectivity that arise from these spaces of working. Constantly shifting between authenticity and artifice, Chatter will attempt to navigate the indeterminate space that arises when texts are translated between narrator and audience. By documenting her own everyday existence, Brandon aims to question our fascination with mediated realities and whether these experiences may ever be re-entered and re-experienced by an audience.
Chatter is exhibiting as part of the Metro Arts Galleries Program 2012 at Metro Arts Galleries, Level 2, 109 Edward St.
