Attended the opening reception of Asylum by Olivia Johnston and Neeko Paluzzi at SPAO: Photographic Arts Centre.
In this exhibition, Johnston and Paluzzi highlight the materials that get accumulated in the creation of an arts practice, and the emotional, physical, and conceptual weight that these objects hold.
Props, novelty items, prototypes and paper ephemera are housed inside a cardboard shrine.
Each box is a miniature stage, an assemblage of references, memories, and gestures that illustrate the labour and weight of building a single image.
Asylum runs until February 16, 2025
