Reece Cleveland
Reece Cleveland is a Brisbane based artist exploring new terrain in the field of glitch art. His explorations in photography and videography began after receiving a damaged Olympus U795SW point and shoot camera. Reece describes his defective apparatus as ‘a looking glass into a world of form-loss where everything is accounted for, but nothing is the same.’
Blake Paul Kendall
Blake is a Sydney- based painter currently exhibiting at the Social Laneway, Redfern. Together with Baru Art he has recently launched a crowd funding campaign for the Penan Children's Book. The campaign plans to raise $19, 500 to produce and deliver by hand the first educational resource on Penan language. Upo Uleu (Our Sago) is a children's book whose narrative Blake developed while working with Penan elders in Borneo last year. The book will be illustrated with prints from a series that he painted while staying with them.
BDVZ
Based in Singapore, BDVZ uses photography, video
and graphic interchange formats (gifs) to bring a hybrid-world perspective to lesser traversed spaces. These first remixes of
shape, landscape, form and spaces were displayed in a solo exhibition titled #intheдуьне which
took the ‘hybrid-world’ perspective to community housing blocks across
inner-Sydney.
BDVZ’s work
plays with themes of hybridity, globalization, new media, social dynamics,
physical and geographic borders and diasporas through contemporary media; using
phone cameras, gifs, image editing, sound, video and image sharing websites to
foster a new platform for self-identification.
“How people, cultures and
concepts borrow and re-contextualise different aspects of cultures in their
construction of self identity and spirituality, is the most interesting part of
existence for me. My art comments on this and is actually my own form of this
process. Everything in art to me is about
direction, symmetry, intensity, kaleidoscopes, beauty in the unfamiliar, and that
which encompasses the material
and cultural aspects of and around physical and geographical borders.”
BDVZ is currently working on a new project KLTID (Kampong Life ‘Til I Die) which recontextualises various urban and natural environments in South East Asia as a way to spiritually connect the cultures of the world.
