Katya Sander : A Landscape of Known Facts

22 Apr-26 Jun 2010

Overview

Katya Sander’s 'A Landscape of Known Facts' is a newly commissioned artwork that will completely transform the gallery of Project Arts Centre. Sander’s landscape is projected like a lighthouse, a beam that scans the circular room in a slow, continuous, 360 degree revolution. Influenced by the early development of cinematic special effects, 'A Landscape of Known Facts' brings to life the history of the panoramic spectacle, while also layering the projected image with iconographic matte painting and textual metaphors. Inside the panorama we eavesdrop on conversations – people who travel, see, purchase tickets, behold spectacles, and consume images. You are welcome to join us for the opening of A Landscape of Known Facts in the gallery from 6.00pm on Thursday 22 April 2010.
