Exhibition – The Other – Melbourne

Exhibition – The Other – Melbourne

Oh you sneaky sneaky show you, almost got by us! The Others is a great little group show from several artists from Melbourne’s western suburbs, including a bunch whose work you all probably are familiar with.

“Each of the artists in the show reflects on what this notion means to them. ‘The Other’ refers to that which is separate and apart. The concept is frequently used to construct and reinforce a sense of self as well as national identity and culture. Use of the ‘the Other’ defines our relationships with the world and the environment around us. We create language to define ‘the Other’ such as ‘human or non-human’ and these labels become pivotal in prescribing laws, treatment, ethics and conduct.

These terms initiate a scale of evaluation which promotes humans as separate and apart from all other species and sometimes from each other.”

With a great concept, and a whole heap of talent on board, this is a show worth heading over to Footscray to check out – very nice indeed.
