Heidrun Löhr & Hans Bildstein – Quid Novis 

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection. 

8 November 2014 – 18 January 2015 

Flitting from poetics to politics, Quid Novis is an exhibition in flux.

Liam Benson – Mrs Boss Slays the Malevolent Scoundrel

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

Liam Benson – Mrs Boss Slays the Malevolent Scoundrel

31 January – 26 February 2015

Mrs Boss is a gun-toting colonial hunter and a bearded lady. In the work, artist and performer Liam Benson takes Mrs Boss through the golden fields and pale bushland of the Monaro landscape in hot pursuit of her target. Successful in her mission, Benson portrays the commonly mocked bearded-lady as a hero, inverting the stereotype.

Ella Condon – The Light Loop and Surface Tension II

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

27 February – 22 March 2015

Ella Condon’s meditative and experiential videoworks fragment the elements of the photographic medium in order to re-examine its essential qualities: light, time, and space.

James Mauger – The Elders of the Wild (selected cinemagraphs)

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

11 April – 10 May 2015

A mix of video and photography, cinemagraphs are still images in which a minor and repeated movement occurs. Moving beyond arresting a moment in time, James Mauger uses extensive digital post production to create moving images that illustrate the power of nature and addresses the bond we hold with our ancestors.

Ireneusz Luty – City de Noir

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

11 May – 7 June 2015

City de Noir explores the ordinary moments as absorbed by the intensity of everyday city life, encapsulating the fleeting experience and focuses on the beauty in the mundane. Sydney is re-imagined and re-presented to the viewer in a dark, mysterious and illusory way.

Merilyn Fairskye – Fieldwork II

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

20 June – 16 July 2015

The abandoned houses surrounding Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant have been reclaimed by wilderness and blanketed in snow. In Fieldwork II Merilyn Fairskye has slowed a single tracking shot down to the point almost of disintegration, creating an apt and poetic metaphor of Chernobyl.

Cyrus Tang – Remote Nation

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

17 July – 16 August 2015

Remote Nation deals with the idea of reconstructing ephemeral sensations and capturing the disappearance towards the notion of home. Cyrus Tang has created an underwater world, unnatural and unreal like a fairytale, that gradually falls apart and eventually turns to dust.

Alexander James – Weathersound

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

29 August – 17 September 2015

In this quiet video work, Sydney-based artist Alexander James explores the history and state of the atmosphere. With performers embodying the weather, the artist proposes an exploration of the many forms, meanings and symbols of clouds and discovers a space of shifting moods and fragile transient depths.

Christopher Phillips | Surface Tension

Presented on ACP’s after hours Street Screen projection.

 18 September – 18 October 2015

Christopher Phillips’ practice explores the expansion of consciousness through meditative practices. Through an understanding of Buddhist concepts and the aesthetics of wabi-sabi, he experiments with organic forms to highlight the beauty and wisdom in nature’s simplicity and impermanence.
