Ian Williams @ Free Range Gallery

Event Title: OPEN WORLD. 
Participating Artists: Ian Williams. 

Venue: 
Free Range Gallery, 
339 Wellington St Perth. 

Description: A solo exhibition of new works by Perth-based artist Ian Williams.

OPEN WORLD is an exploration of experience and familiarity within virtual environments, and how the screen operates as both a window and a barrier, separating the illusion from the physical world.

Working directly from live video games, Williams investigates the photographic believability within these spaces while being mindful of their simplistic origins. This visual seduction inevitably ends when his avatar is killed, typically by traumatic means.

Dates: 01 July 2015 to 05 July 2015. 
Opening Times: Opening 6-9pm Wed, Open Thu-Sun, 11am-6pm.
