Real time is a group exhibition of works observed from life by artists who employ a range of strategies to tweak the view. In this odd moment, the realities they speak of appear to embody a similar sense of shift, between the perfunctory and less definable states of play. Conceived as a painting show, the exhibition includes works in a variety of media that refer to aspects of the painterly process. While some propose a pictorial means of escape, others alert us to the curious, overlooked details of ordinary life revealed when the area of focus becomes small. Curated by Rebecca Geldard for CPS, the project will run concurrently in the gallery and via appleandhat.com.
