Apparatus – Andrew J. Milne

Apparatus is the construction of mechanism as ruin. It is a collection of decaying monuments that realize a historical vision of future utopias, dragging them back toward obsolescence, futility and critique. The exhibition commemorates a future where vision is total and simultaneous; where Cinema has eclipsed experience.

The Analogues – Roy Ascott

Roy Ascott: The Analogues explores a small but crucial body of work by English inter-media artist and theorist Roy Ascott (b. 1934). The works in the exhibition were all created in England between 1963 and 1967. They form a small but crucial part of the artist’s “Analogue” works – non-digital, two-dimensional and non-representational wall works that pre-ﬁgure his later artwork and theories relating to computer networks, viewer interaction, and telematics.

Domestic Memorabilia – Caroline Blais

“I collect objects of all sorts, many of them to fulfil a practical purpose, and others for their aesthetic and nostalgic qualities. I like to have around me souvenirs of other eras and other cultures, and with this input of the past I compose the present. My collection is the inspiration for this cabinet of curiosities, where I transpose consumer products into a virtual and intangible realm.”
