Blindside will soon be hosting a group exhibition titled "Beyond The Veil," from May 30, 2018.The exhibition aims to expand and transform the perceptions, traditions, and experiences of the white cube as an exhibition model. With a presentation of architectural interventions, site specific responses, and public programs, the exhibition will be featuring newly commissioned works as well as renewed curatorial vision upon existing works, by 12 contemporary artists altogether conjuring a liminal experience. The artists featured in the exhibition include Anastasia Booth, Daniel Gawronski, Guy Grabowsky, Josh Hook, Paulina Hupe, Cristal Johnson, Tessy King, Hernan Lopera, Diego Ramirez, Britt Salt, Michele Sierra, and Jake Treacy."’Beyond the Veil’ constructs and chances ambiguous moments often encountered within ceremonial and daily ritual, performing the numinous quality of art. When in a liminal state one is considered in flux — neither here nor there, yet betwixt and between — and so the gallery space becomes a fertile place for transformation. As one enters Blindside they are greeted with their mirror self; a ghost sculpture collapses upon itself; a monumental wall becomes a gateway between interior and exterior worlds; punctured vessels carry and seep energy from other times and places; the contemporary figure of the witch demolishes and rebuilds gender hierarchies; a corner of reflective discs perpetually shifts architecture; Jungian archetypes glow, smoke, and smoulder; and a live eclipse interrogates colonial forecasts. All the while the internal structure of the gallery becomes a haunting acoustic, where a spirit box channels voices beyond the walls," states Blindside. The opening night of the exhibition will be featuring a performance by Josh Hook. Also, a ritual by Paulina Hupe will take place, "piercing and puncturing the veils between worlds," (Blindside).Blindside has been focusing on presenting artists with a range of contemporary art practice from sculpture, drawing, painting, and performance art, through to new media, video, sound, installation, and craft. The gallery has also been committed to the role of education in the future of contemporary art practice and have been offering an extensive program of talks, workshops, and forums for artists, the general public, and visiting school groups.The exhibition will be on view through June 16, 2018 at Blindside Gallery, Level 7/37 Swanston Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia.
