Warrnambool Art Gallery is pleased to present
Sans Frontières
Saturday 8 December 2018 to Sunday 5 May 2019
Curator Ren Gregoric
Soft Launch Friday 7 December 6 to 8 pm
Contained within the many structures that man has built across the earth for habitation, ritual and gathering, is an inherent power. Each tower of stone or brick, steel, concrete or plaster is an embodiment of social, political, individual or collective decisions that describe narratives of culture, power and agency. These narratives are generally considered to resonate outwards, originating from an internal place and with an individual voice. In ‘Sans Frontières’ Damon Kowarsky presents an alternative to this way of seeing and understanding structure and the relationships that structures have with place.
Through depictions of diverse urban locations including Pakistan, India, Melbourne, New York, views of rural France, renderings of contemplative figures, and views through forests, Kowarsky applies his archaeological-eye. He offers us views beyond and between structures to reveal their relational narrative - one that is global, interconnected and ever-emerging. At its heart, ‘Sans Frontières’ examines how ways of looking, orientation, and perspective can uncover narratives of culture, power and agency through the structures and spaces they create. Spaces that are constrained by the human psyche that has constructed the labyrinth.
