Blindspot

Opening: Nov 18th, from 6 until 8 PM

For Blindspot, Jayne Dyer occupies the gallery space with re-purposed photographs, text and objects, searching for blindspots in telecommunications, surveillance and nationhood. 

​

In her installation, time is manipulated. News, science fiction and spy narratives, are spliced and mashed together, prompting a lens on precarious states of play. Abrupt shifts between speed, stillness, shrill sound and silence block original meanings; creating blindspots as slippery and contradictory as the way we flip between a screen swipe and a turn of a page.

 

Jayne Dyer is an Australian artist and arts writer living in Lisbon/Porto.

Her projects are supported by international arts agencies, with an Australian Federal Government award for arts achievements in Asia (2013), and a Commonwealth of Australia Public Service Medal for contributions to arts and education (2005).
