Hamish Carr Artist-in-Residence at Youkobo Art Space
1 July 2011 - 28 August 2011
The Melbourne-based artist Hamish Carr, currently on a two-month Artist-in-Residency at Youkobo Art Space, Tokyo, will hold an open day in July to show the progress of his work, after which the work will be included in an exhibition in August.
Reflecting upon his residency period in Japan, Carr’s large-scale drawings are derived from digital manipulations of landscape which are then hand-drawn so as to render landscape. In compressing distance between micro and macro, Carr seeks to suggest an atmosphere of anxiety within constant flow of transient mediated appearances.
The artist intends to exhibit the works from the residency as part of a Japan-Australia group exhibition entitled "Immanent Landscape" at Oyama City, Kurumaya Museum from 17 September – 27 November 2011.
