OPENING DRINKS: FRIDAY 13 NOVEMBER, 6PM
EXHIBITION: 10 NOVEMBER – 5 DECEMBER, 2015
For her upcoming solo exhibition at Anna Pappas Gallery, Sue Dodd will create a series of performative video, song, and animation works exploring the theme of travel, leisure and technology, taking the viewer on a desperate imaginary trip to nowhere. Mimicking the constructs of commercial music videos and production stills, Dodd will create simulated hallucinogenic journeys with hyper-real, almost toxic colours and visual effects. Through these works, Dodd is playfully interrogating notions of leisure and escapism and questioning the construction/s of identity within consumer culture.
Dodd’s practice incorporates performance, music, video and installation, and responds to the contemporary cultural landscape of globalisation, homogeneity and desire. Dodd looks at the playful and expressive potentials of pop, mass media and celebrity culture to challenge audience relationships to the artwork and demonstrate possibilities for hybrid modes of production.
