19/9/60 Annual Juried Members’ Exhibition

We are pleased to present the group exhibition 19/9/60, our 2018 Annual Juried Members’ Exhibition. The title 19/9/60 is a date scribbled on one of the discarded books that Anna Soper’s series Withdrawn documents; while the cataloguing material that this work explores attempts to construct a cohesive archive, the gaps that inevitably emerge as the focus of the archive shifts and evolves creates disconnects and disjunctures. The date 19/9/60 is now without meaning in the context of this catalogue.

Departing from this disconnect, the exhibition features a range of works that address themes including records, documents, archives, traces and the passage of time, as well as the forms of categorization that frame our experiences of these phenomena. Many of the works consider the ways that meaning is created or altered through image and text, and how this meaning shifts over time. Through media ranging from photography, drawing, digital media and sculptural installation, the works in 19/9/60 offer insightful reflections on the ways that we mark time and understand both ourselves and others.
