Description: Featuring work by Australian and international artists, Dead
Ringer seeks to draw forth the doppelgangers, ghosts and bad copies that
haunt us. The exhibition unites an original group of artists whose works
negotiate the extremes of portraiture through film, painting, photography,
installation, 3D printing, hypnosis and transcendental meditation to
identify the apparitions, simulations and doubles that have surfaced in
recent dialogues about contemporary culture.
This group show connects artists across artforms, cultures and time zones.
Drawing on theories of quantum entanglement, parallel worlds, stolen
identities and exact duplicates, Dead Ringer is about identity crisis in the
post-internet age.
Dates: 14 November 2015 to 27 December 2015.
Opening Times: Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm.
