CONTACT SHOW - ALTERED REALITIES

Observations on the changing nature of connection/disconnection are created by three artists using process-based approaches to investigate aspects of imposed isolation on the psyche, landscapes, and interactions. Claudette Abrams contemplates the cessation of air travel using digitally extracted negative space. Anthea Baxter-Page mirrors lockdown with vintage Holga images of unpopulated tourist destinations. Berkley J Abrams Page uses a photo-based approach to explore human disconnection in various forms. Exhibited outdoors as a collective of individual freestanding vitrines around Ward’s Island; the context expands conceptually into physical spaces of both isolation and openness, containment and accessibility.
