Clinton Hayden: Objects of Rebels & Lovers

23 Apr-30 May 2015

Overview

Beers is pleased to present Objects for Rebels & Lovers, the first solo exhibition by Australian artist Clinton Hayden, presenting the artist’s multi-disciplinary practice and unique method of working, in which the artist acts as archivist, documentarian, storyteller, and librarian. Investigating themes of desire, intimacy and longing, Hayden's practice incorporates a method of working through repetition, note-making, and a type of comprehensive image-making which builds immersive, serial, and analogue idea sites for the exploration of ideas. Throughout, Hayden cleverly plays with the tension between image and object as well as the interplay between context and form.
