Tully Arnot, Ben Gavin, Alexander James

TULLY ARNOT - Developing on ‘outsider’ modes of invention, Arnot generates a non-teleological creative process with unanticipated outcomes. Inventive and alchemical explorations of material and form are used to explore the subtle flux within art and the everyday life. More subjectively, his work addresses the human condition, our relationships with objects and technology, the absurd and contradiction. 

Completing his Masters in Fine Arts at COFA this year, Arnot is currently exhibiting at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Sydney. 2014 exhibitions include Jan Murphy Gallery, Brisbane, Redlands Art Prize, National Art School, Sydney and forthcoming Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize and ArtMonth NAB Emerging Art Prize.

BEN GAVIN - Working as an artist and curator, Ben Gavin graduated with Honours at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney in 2010. The same year he was recipient of the Zelda Stedman Scholarship and guest curator at RMIT Galleries in Melbourne. Using everyday objects such as books and magazines, his artistic practice has a recurring theme that explores (perhaps undermines ) the conditions of art marking, cultural reception and consumption.

Currently exhibiting at Luis Adelantado, Valencia. Previously exhibited at General Store, East Sydney, FEINKOST, Berlin, ASC, London, Intersection in the Arts, San Francisco, USA, Galerie Blutenweiss, Berlin, La Viande Gallery London, Eyelevel Gallery, Nova Scotia, Tank Arts Centre, Cairns and at University of Sydney. Artworks featured and reviewed in Artforum, Frieze, RealTime, Trouble and Umelec Contemporary Art magazines. www.the-generalstore.net

ALEXANDER JAMES - Using photography, video, sculpture and performance, explores the sky’s own complex and specific way of expressing time. James has filmed people making weather sounds and attached titles to artworks that allude to a human component. Ultimately, James places artist and viewer in the midst of the contemporary cloud.

Alexander James has exhibited nationally and internationally. Recent exhibitions have included Galerie Patrick Epensberger in Berlin, Dominik Mersch Gallery in Sydney and as part of Photoville in Brooklyn New York City. www.amrjames.com
