| Synopsis : | dot-net-dot-au is an artistic meditation on the links that bind us geographically and metaphorically. In their duo exhibition, Australian artists Tim Craker and Louise Saxton, who separately undertook short term artist residencies at Rimbun Dahan gallery in Malaysia in 2006, explore their most vivid impressions of the time they’ve spent travelling between their home country and Malaysia. From this, they’ve produced two individual series of artworks that surprisingly complement and work in tandem with one another. Put side by side, the collection of works reveal a disarmingly quirky and personal insight into the experiences of two artists exploring Malaysian life and culture as outsiders. Running through the entire series is Tim Craker’s elaboration of the net, literally and metaphorically. The net describes communication links, the sieve of memory, a tool to capture experiences and also the imaginary walls that separate cultures. Interspersed among the nets are Louise Saxton’s insects, flowers and human figures meticulously put together from embroidered and quilted fabric. The effect is an artistic reenactment of the two artists’ process as they absorb, understand and meditate on Malaysian life and culture as outsiders. dot-net-dot-au is also a continuation of their exhibition dot-net-dot-my at the Red Gallery Contemporary Art Space, in Melbourne, Australia, in 2007. The exhibition opening will be officiated by Angela Hijjas on Thu 10 July 2008 at 8pm, and there will be an Artist talk on Sat 26 July 2008 at 2pm. Presented by the Australian High Commission KL, Central Market and The Annexe Gallery. |
