| IMITATION OF LIFE |
|
 |
The art in Imitation Of Life plays with quotation and appropriation, mimicry
and replication. Including the work of twenty-seven contemporary artists
this feast of paintings, photographs, sculptures, jewellery, ceramics, textiles
and works on paper variously mines imagery from art history, illustrated encyclopaedias, nature magazines, science journals, newspapers, bodice rippers, children’s books, comics, toys, patterned lino and domestic tools
and appliances.
Within this exhibition there is nostalgia, homage and critique, irony, caricature and satire. Artists included in Imitation Of Life are: Jane Barney; Vivienne Binns; Rachel Bowak; Robert Boynes; Hamilton Darroch; Nicola Dickson; Janenne Eaton; Geoff Farquhar-Still; Kirsten Farrell; Patsy Hely; Martyn Jolly; Stephanie Jones; Lyndall Kennedy; Jay Kochel; Julian Laffan; Ann McMahon; Danie Mellor; Rose Montebello; Al Munro; Emily O’Brien; Louise Pinder; Julie Ryder; Erica Seccombe; Nick Stranks; Imants Tillers; Ruth Waller; and David Watt.
