The Gallery invites you to the preview of the new 'Virtually Real' Exhibition, a group show of nine important contemporary artists.

Opening Night: Tuesday, 1 March 2011, 6-8pm

Virtually Real
1 March - 21 May 2011

Contemporary artists explore the illusion of space, using different methodologies and media to confound or exemplify realism.

In a visual culture where digital photography and CGI create disposable and instantly digestible spaces, this exhibition brings together work that questions and subverts the representation of space in art and everyday life.

Virtually Real, a group exhibition of nine important contemporary artists, will venture beyond the traditional spatial realism of paintings and the flattened panes and spaces of modernism, by focussing on the illusion of space, a central aesthetic concern throughout the canon of art history, with new methods and approaches.

The artists participating are Petros Chrisostomou, Bruce Ingram, Grant Miller, James Moore, Suzanne Moxhay, Jamie Tiller, Julia Willms, Simon Woolham and Dawn Woolley.

Guest curated by 'Another Product.'
