The idea behind this exhibition was to create a critique of how we understand ourselves through the knowledge of multiple worlds; for example the art world or the world of politics. Taking the world view of an oyster as the starting point, the possibility of a solipsistic vantage point lends itself to situations of mixed-up meanings, ineptitude and serious irreverence.

The exhibition is conceived as a group show, where the artists have worked both separately & together to create a disjointed cohesiveness throughout the exhibition. I have chosen these artists for this exhibition because I think their work is already working on the level of ‘other or altered realities’. Helen through mixed media, Mick through sound/drawing, Max through film and myself through digital media.

The different media we use is important, to offer variety for the expression of different ‘states of affairs’. Helen’s work is both of and not of the world, Max’s has a very particular atmosphere, which expresses the idea of a personal world while Mick’s work disrupts and collapses inward to the internal world.

For myself, I am in a constant state of flux with regard to ideas about art, and the process of working with each of these artists is a constant educational pleasure.
