SUMMER STUDIO

11 – 14 January 2012

Agnes So + Jason Chau

Rather then leave the gallery empty over the holiday season this year, two collaboratives – Ben Johnson & Nick Herzog, and Agnes So & Jason Chau – were given the keys to Blindside and, starting from scratch, asked to have an exhibition ready in four and a half weeks, a duration far exceeding the usual two-day installation time. The public are invited to view the results that both highlight and fracture the boundaries between idea inception, exploration, creation and presentation.

New Zealand artist So and designer Chau have colaborated within BLINDSIDE over the studio period. So engages with a number of minimalist materials to create investigations between the viewer and the viewed, where engagement between the two occurs through a heightening of one’s awareness towards the everyday. Meanwhile, Chau has documented So’s progress with a number of catalog projects, exploring both traditional and more ephemeral print medias.
