GALLERY 1 - Leslie Rice - Untitled
It was on a dreary night in March that you beheld the accomplishment of my
toils…
It was the night of the nineteenth day in March, to be precise; the day on
which the Christian faithful celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph, the
carpenter who raised the son he himself did not conceive.
A virgin father, as it were, whose blessed wife was impregnated not with
his seed, but by a beam of light immaculate.
On this night, I ask that you ponder the fetid conception of another, less
admirable soul…
Consider the motherless birth of a creation so wretched it was considered
unworthy of a title, and wandered the earth unnamed.
Consider, if you will, the soul conceived not in the tradition of union,
but callously assembled by a presumptuous individual employing the skills
of the tradesman Joseph.
Consider, good people, and decide for yourself:
Is this soul as black as it is painted?

GALLERY 2 LAPDANCER II: iconic songs transposed into the language of
video art, 2009 Sean Lowry
Together with other smaller portable devices, the laptop computer has
become a familiar site for the transfer and dissemination of cultural
information. This project, in response to the scale and theatricality of
dominant video installation models, utilises the relatively modest
exhibition format of the standard laptop computer. Within this ‘unheroic’
exhibition format, it is envisaged that neither sound nor vision will be
overtly privillaged.
Sound exerts a powerful influence over the experience of visual culture.
Altering existing or established relationships between sound and vision
can profoundly affect perception and interpretation. This work aims to
elucidate the role of noise, word and melody in creating or shifting
meaning within visually centered cultural formations. Occupying an
ambiguous space between art and entertain
