Media release - For immediate release topsy Exhibition by Alice Lang, Kim Demuth, David Spooner, Archie Moore, Eleanor Avery and Ray Cook Metro Arts Galleries Program 2007 September 5 - 22 Respected Brisbane-based curator and video/sound artist, Chris Comer’s latest exhibition, Topsy, brings together a group of six early to mid-career Brisbane multimedia artists to explore a topsy turvy world where conventions are cancelled; opening at Metro Arts Galleries 5 September. Through soft sculpture, installation, mixed media and print works, Topsy artists Alice Lang, Kim Demuth, David Spooner, Ray Cook, Eleanor Avery and Grubbanax Swinnasen (a.k.a. Archie Moore) will challenge what happens when one is unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality. Comer’s curatorial projects have spanned the gamut of artist-run spaces, Art Museums, independent galleries, regional galleries and public art projects for the Queensland Government, including the Old Museum Building project and the Queensland State Archives project. Comer’s strength as a curator is in bringing artists together in a closely collaborative and experimental fashion. Alice Lang was the 2005 artist in residence at Metro Arts and is steadily building her CV, with numerous solo and group exhibitions and an arts residency at the Klondike Institute for Art and Culture in Dawson City, Canada in 2006. She has won numerous awards including the recent 2007 Off the Wall Selected Artist, Art Melbourne and the 2006 Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards (Pictures Category). Aside from Kim Demuth’s regular solo and group exhibitions at galleries such as Jan Manton Gallery in Brisbane and Esa Jaske Gallery in Sydney, his 2007 projects include public artworks for the Queensland State Archives and the Durack Fire Station. David Spooner is studying his Masters of Fine Art at Queensland College of Art where he recently presented a solo exhibition at the gallery. He also won the 2007 Cathryn Mittelheuser Travel Grant. Ray Cook is a doctoral candidate and lecturer at Queensland College of Art and most recently exhibited at the Queensland Centre for Photography. Other solo exhibitions have been presented at galleries in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Townsville, and London. Eleanor Avery recently exhibited her Our Day Out: Space Mission exhibition at Metro Arts Galleries with James Avery, and in 2007 also presented group exhibitions at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art and the UTS Gallery and Peleton Gallery in Sydney, and held a studio residency and exhibition at ArtSpace, Sydney. Archie Moore (working under his alias Grubbanax Swinnasen in this exhibition) was a recipient of the Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship in 2001 and in 1998 was selected for “Hatched: Healthway National Graduate Show” at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. His work was shown in Prime 2005 at the Queensland Art Gallery and has exhibited regularly at Fire-works and Black Peppers galleries. topsy Exhibition: 5 – 22 September Opening Wednesday 5 September 6-8pm Artist Talk: Wednesday 12 September 6pm Metro Arts Galleries, Level 2, Metro Arts 109 Edward Street, Brisbane Qld Monday to Friday 10am – 4:30pm; Saturday 2-5pm For media interviews and more information, please contact Frances Frangenheim, Manager Marketing and Communication, Metro Arts on (07) 3002 7100 or frances@metroarts.com.au ABN 29 010 100 482 109 Edward Street Brisbane 4000.
