(Tasmania Is An Anagram Of) I Am Satan takes the loose premise of a Tasmanian Gothic. The exhibiting artists have been invited to take their starting point from wordplay on Van Diemen’s Land (Demon's Land) and Tasmania (I Am Satan), to produce a collective exhibition of works interpreting a spirit far south of heaven. The varied responses are not intended to present a contained curatorial idea, but rather an aggregation of ideas fleshed out through the invitational process. The themes are not only inspired by jokey wordplay and cultural impressions of Tasmania, but also the general ambience of the HELL space, combined with the areas of interest of Hell Gallery founders, Jess Johnson and Jordan Marani. Those being; “a fascination for the visual imagery of B grade horror, UFOs, comic books, falling towers, black holes, post apocalyptic fiction, weird science and doom metal.”

The Board and staff of INFLIGHT will be presenting works based on these premises as well as inviting an artist (or group) of their choice to exhibit alongside or collaborate with. 

(Tasmania Is An Anagram Of) I Am Satan is a return exchange with HELL Gallery who presented the exhibition Hell Is Other People at INFLIGHT in Hobart in November 2009 and is part of INFLIGHT’s ongoing exchange program.
