Ghost Changing Room

30 Sep-13 Nov 2019

Overview

Lindsey Bull, Tamara Dubnyckyj, Rebecca Jagoe, Mindy Lee, Cathy Lomax and Susan Sluglett. Curated by Mindy Lee. The changing room is a place to transition, a place to come and go, to pass through. Bodies changing reveal a shedding of a layer, outfit, costume, persona, memory, skin or life. This painting and sculpture exhibition looks at intimate traces of the body through a chasm between public, private, projected and theatrical personas; between the external and internal self. Physical, cast-off garments leave a trace of the body's activity behind, whilst the paintings capture ghostly figures in a state of dress/undress. These forms and gestures hold memories of our ghost bodies and evidence our continual search to reinvent or re-find ourselves/others. Here ghosts remain as a constant reminder of the body’s shifting states.
