INTIMATE SPACES REVEALED

CAITLIN FRANZMANN, CAROL McGREGOR, LEENA RIETHMULLER

Curated by Debra Porch

Exhibition Dates: 4 July 2014 - 9 August 2015

The exhibition Intimate spaces revealed is aligned to the awareness and noticeable shift in the approaches and methods that artists are currently addressing of the personal and the profound. Here the artists, Caitlin Franzmann, Carol McGregor and Leena Riethmuller are conscious of creating mechanisms that assist in evoking wider interpretations of what the intimate can conjure up or even can be. The three Brisbane artists confront intimacy, memory and the space these occupy differently, but all gravitate around the importance that lies in the unexpected experiences and responses that the audience may have when they are asked by the art to ‘slow-down’and involve themselves with visual or sensorial. These artists are addressing the vast associations and spaces that encompass the intimate. The body and memory become key facilitators in the strange connections of the visible and the invisible in revealing the spaces of intimacy, the moments when anything seems possible.
