1301SW presents a group exhibition with works by Janet Burchill, Don Driver, Hilarie Mais, Robert Moreland and Nick Selenitsch.

Thinking about words like “jazz” and “folk”, of how they sit alongside (on… in…) materiality, construction and concept, and how they colour the complexity of abstraction.

Thinking about similar yet differing versions, of what came before, of time and place, interests (obsessions) and knowledge — both mentally and physically acquired; of different movements and manifestations; of those who ordered a classic martini but with a twist as opposed to an olive — a deviating semblance.

Thinking about a deviating semblance, where the similar yet dis-similar is placed in a relatable context, a space (exhibition) to gather calmly in their dynamism. A space to trace these movements and manifestations, compare and contrast and champion where it went for the twist over the olive.

Opening Event: Saturday 11 November, 4 – 6pm.
