PSYCHOMETROPOLIS

inflight3-e1378263238278

Closing event/new premises launch Friday September 24:

6:00pm Artists talk

6:30pm Launch of new INFLIGHT premises.

INFLIGHT has moved premises to 100 Goulburn Street, Hobart and we are proud to present Psychometropolis, an evolving installation/intervention as our first exhibition in the new space.

Psychometropolis is the first collaborative project between Brisbane-based artists Danielle Clej and Claire Robertson. Clej and Robertson will improvise a dialogical method of installation that continually evolves during the exhibition period.  The work will transform the viewers’ experience of the space, re-configuring the architecturally affective qualities in response to the structures in the wider city environment. The work will materialise a cyclical dialogue between processes of making, developing, exhibiting and experiencing work.

This evolving work will be available to view during INFLIGHT’s regular open hours and the exhibition will culminate in a closing event that will not only include an artists talk outlining the process of intervention and evolution in the work, but will also be followed by a celebratory launch for INFLIGHT’s new premises. 

Claire Robertson is a Brisbane-based new media artist whose practice forms a complex, often uncanny, dialogue between artist, camera, and the spaces they inhabit.

Recently, she represented Australia at the Órebro International Video Art Festival, Sweden and exhibited at the Beijing Film Academy New Media Art Triennial, China and has recently won the Premier of Queensland's new media art scholarship.

Danielle Clej is a Brisbane based artist and PhD candidate in practice led visual arts research at the Queensland University of Technology. Clej’s practice explores a creative matrixial model intertwining individual, studio based, collaborative, curatorial and writing activities. In 2008 Clej completed her Honours (with first class) in Visual Arts and has been awarded the Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art Hobday and Hingston Bursary. She is a co-director for artist-run initiatives inbetweenspaces and of ten projects and curates the annual exhibition ‘Fresher Cunts’.
