My friend Anne Lawson features one of my prints, bought from the #Incube8r gallery. The photo she shows, connectedly enough, was taken in Queens Park, Moonee Ponds, a place we went to together frequently, many moons ago. Thanks Anne.
What’s happening in my studio? Well, not much painting-wise. Like you, I have been busy with other interesting things that this time of the year throws up, including a very interesting talk b…

Resistance or a “hunting for spaces of escape”, is a precarious enterprise
which is always about to be colonised by what it seeks to oppose or transgress.

Shattered by Melanie Lazarow
A spectre is haunting (Europe) and it is the spectre of Communism. Karl Marx
Photographs of protesters as they are projected and shattered through
the medium of the bottle/glass are captured either just as light, or the
image of the people moving through glass, a medium scientifically
interesting as a liquid which feels solid, but is sand. The temporality
of the past in time present, the ghostly images of people and light, who
were parading and marching for a better world, are illuminated.
Will time’s bottle shatter, let its contents go, create shards that can
split time? These specters of time’s past in time present are an
indication that time present will be time past. It is humanity’s actions
that will shape the final storyboard, and it still can be a positive one
of meeting human need. The questions of time/temporality and the
consequence of being caught in a difficult time of war, and injustice
are raised.
Melanie has recently graduated from the VCA with a Master of
Contemporary Art, First Class Honours, and is presently working at River
Studios, Creative Spaces. She actively participates in protests, and
always takes an artistic position from within protests.
Shattered – Exhibition Red Gallery beginning 3 September 2015 Opening 6-8
A spectre is haunting…
The protest s filmed through the glass bottle, light shatters through the medium of the bottle/glass. The bottle catches either just light, or the image of the people moving through glass, a medium already scientifically interesting as a liquid which feels solid, but is sand. The projection is then captured on the wall the people protesting moving, but stopped at this time of austerity. Will the bottle let its contents go? Or create shards that can split time? These specters of time past in time present are an indication that time present will be time past. It is humanity’s actions that will shape the final storyboard, and it can be a positive one of meeting human need. The questions of time/temporality and the consequence of being caught in a difficult time – austerity, war, dictatorship – are raised.
