Grant Stevens: Fazed
3 - 29 August 2009
Starkwhite is pleased to
presentFazed
by Sydney/LA-based artist Grant Stevens from 3 to 29 August
2009.
Things can get distorted through the veil of a brave
face. Using a variety of media including video, photography, light
and sound,
Fazedpresents works
that swerve between surface pleasures and private
breakdowns.
Taken individually and in concert, this new suite of
works toy with the membrane screening us from our harsh realities.
Some things are a bit hazy; others are more clearly warped and out
of kilter. They remind us that although we try to keep it together,
cracks sometimes appear in the veneer.
Stevens' recent exhibitions include:
Wobbly, Gallery
Barry Keldoulis, Sydney (2009);
Islands, Nature
Morte, Berlin (2009); No Bad
Days, Institute of Modern Art,
