avarice : auspice exhibition floor talk

Join artist Jay Kochel as he breathes air into the processes and ideas behind his installation, avarice : auspice. Large, gold and inflatable, this ambitious project continues Jay’s exploration of the Japanese concept of ‘reading air’. The gallery is transformed into a laboratory site in which invisible forces gain shape and materialise.

Dr Jay Kochel is the ANU School of Art’s Gallery Coordinator (A/g) and is also a Canberra-based artist who completed his Doctorate in Philosophy (Visual Art) at the ANU SOA in 2013. In 2014 he was awarded an Arts ACT Project Funding grant and an Asialink Residency to the Kyoto Art Center, Japan. His recent research has focussed on scent and methods of representing the unseen.
