DemoKinisi_09
The video Watercolour (2018) was filmed by chance with a smart phone. Often condemned for luring us into mediated spaces far from the “real” world, the smartphone has become an indispensible tool that can do the opposite: it can bring us closer to the world. The presented clip draws on the idea of painting in plein air, where a specific moment in time has been observed and instantly recorded with a means of technical innovation.

DemoKinisi
As a global collective we are witnessing events that will alter our current approach to living. Questions around the importance of a physical space will become more prevalent as we merge more into the virtual world of viewing and consuming art. DemoKinisi is a response to the unexpected environment we are living in, derivative from two Greek words that translates to people in motion. It is a project with the intent on keeping the physical space of the gallery alive and uncontaminated. DemoKinisi consists of ongoing artwork projections which can only be viewed from the exterior of the gallery space or online.
DemoKinisi is presented as a gesture of witnessing.
During the twelve-week program the artists involved will have the opportunity to present work that explore issues around
co-existence, daily life, the unknown and perceived reality. The questions that remain to be answered are; how will the anticipated changes in social patterns affect the white cube, and how will we feel when we are allowed back into the gallery space.

Suzie Idiens
exhibition rescheduled for July, final dates to be advised
Suzie Idiens is interested in the subjective nature of perception and the paradox that arises when viewing reductive abstract art – the effects are self-referential and rational while simultaneously evoking a visceral experience. By methodically questioning the effects of adjusting geometric form, repeatedly manipulating its shape or frontal plane, and restricting the use of applied colour, she asks how the sum of these actions will impact the viewer's experience of the piece. Her aim is to balance intuitive decisions with formal concerns of line, form, colour, finish and spatial composition.
This exhibition explores the various outcomes derived from introducing simple adjustments to the surface colour and outlines of a geometric form.
