An exhibition Rapid Eye Movement, curated by Timmah Ball and Raina Peterson, will be on show at the Wyndham Cultural Centre next yea,
The show will be held on Thursday, January 20 to Sunday, March 6,
The exhibition is summarised as:
“During sleep, our brains move through five different phases. One of these is rapid eye movement (REM) where our eyes move quickly in various directions. It is here where most dreams occur, influencing our memory and mood.
In an unexpected time of closure, separated from bodies, place and community, sleep has new meaning and materiality. It shapes our consciousness, movement and social interactions.
As the city stops, our dreams have exploded, populating our minds with unlimited visions and utopic desire. Rapid Eye Movement asks how we imagine and live through time, space and our bodies, even as bureaucracy contains us.
Catch these ideas in your waking hours at Wyndham Art Gallery in an exhibition guest curated by Timmah Ball and Raina Peterson, presenting the work of a range of artists exploring these possibilities.”
The Wyndham Art Gallery is located at 177 Watton Street, Werribee and is open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pmand Saturday to Sunday 11am – 4pm.
The exhibition opening will be held January 20 from 6.30 to 8.30pm, depending on COVID restrictions.
