Geometric Asylum presents a series of sculptural and installation works that explore relationships between space, power and control. Hostile architectures, deterrent physical forms and automated kinetic systems will impose limitations on the viewer’s movement throughout the gallery to reflect on exclusionary spatial strategies in the built environment.
Lachlan Anthony is a Melbourne based artist whose recent work has explored themes of power, violence and control through a sculpture and installation practice that draws on spatial, economic and political theory critiquing the structure and effect of neoliberalism and its exclusionary relationship to space and people. His installation work uses kinetic systems and deterrent architecture to experiment with forms of dependent participation that reveal power asymmetry through the politics of space.
Exhibtion Opening: 13 July 2016, 6PM
