'Infinite Variation' SCS Group Show @ Stacks Gallery, Sydney

 'Infinite Variation' is a group collage show consisting of 11 SCS members. The show opens tomorrow (Wednesday the 30th) at 6pm and runs until the 17th September. We have Marrickville legends Poor Tom's Gin on board - so it should be a delicious opening reception!

'Infinite Variation'

"Our existence is saturated in images and through these images the world at once takes shape and loses its substance. Through our consumption and accumulation of these images, we attempt to define our reality. As we get further sucked into this visual vortex, we grasp for those image fragments that stand out, for their familiarity or even their horror. Here the line between humourand tragedy; reality and dream slips and slides, here lies collage. Through its recontextualisation of images, collage has the capacity to tap into the collective memory; the subconscious, it can celebrate randomness and the beauty of happy accidents or impose order on chaos. Within the practice of collage there is infinite variation. Sydney Collage Society presents a group show, featuring 11 artists working in and exploring the possibilities of contemporary collage. Each artist has developed a unique approach to their art making, whether it be in form, concept and or process which move beyond cut and paste collage."
