After the Disco
Starting next week at
the Serpentine Community Gallery,
up and coming Brisbane artist
Jamie Mumford
presents an exhibition entitled
"After the Disco"
concurrently with
local artist Anna Dorrington's
solo exhibition
The two exhibitions are running
from 30 September
until 20 October, 2014.
The opening night celebrations
are on 3 October,
6pm - 8pm.
"After The Disco" is an exhibition of recent work by Jamie
that collages glamourous elements from popular culture of the 1970s.
Inspired by glam rock, disco, and fashion photography her artworks
reflect a personal obsession with looking back upon this period.
Being born after this era, she looks at the past via video clips and images on the internet.
Through reinterpretation of these images,
Jamie aims to bring the most fantastic elements of the 70s to life once again.
Using visually alluring materials such as mirror, shiny fabrics and lights,
she creates playful and visually seductive installations,
light sculptures, costumes, photographs and video works.
