Cut-Copy-Paste
at Beers Contemporary
London, UK
Aug 01, 14 - Sep 27, 14

Cut/Copy/Paste presents three American artists who explore the boundaries of the contemporary collage and the re-appropriation of images. Though each artist displays a distinct (yet related) body of work, the exhibition presents the artistic practice as limitless and endlessly reinterpretable; an interminable platform for the interrelating discourses and references of re-imagined images in a contemporary context. The pastel-colour smudged mark made of a fragment in time, the kaleidoscope of a repeated geometric motif, the snippets of photographs and locks of hair 鈥� the reinvented; the cut, the copied, the pasted. read more...

Matt Hinkley
at Sutton Gallery
Fitzroy, Australia
Aug 02, 14 - Aug 30, 14

Matt Hinkley's name has come to be synonymous with labyrinthine line drawings and intricate small sculptures that invite the viewer on a journey of discovery where our sense of perception is challenged. Working across a collection of found materials such as newspapers, obsolete electronic equipment, aluminium tubing, ping pong balls, silicon and polymer clay, Hinkley's painstakingly time-consuming methods to draw, inscribe, sculpt or cut, deftly find order amid chaos. His mark makings are often an intuitive response to his medium with acknowledgement of both the imperfections that are already present, and the element of human error when manipulating by hand on this scale. read more...
