Exhibitions / Field (Wooden Cypher)
07.05.2015 to 23.05.2015
A collaborative exhibition with Lynette Smith at Blindside, Melbourne, 2015
Field (wooden cypher) is part of an open-ended investigation of the way we find meaning in things and events. To ‘find it’, it seems that all you have to do is be present. The world and its interpretive possibilities seem given to you in some way. Chris Bond and Lynette Smith are interested in how that happens and the blindness that, paradoxically, makes it possible to see that meaning as a given. We know there is no way of getting around that so we look instead for the possibility of pleasure (or another truth) in obscurity, uncertainty, incompleteness, deception and the inauthentic.
More information, including an ongoing conversation between Lynette and Chris, is available at the website www.serpentcurling.com
