Monster Children Gallery presents THE THINNEST OF BETWEENS
AN EXHIBITION BY TRENT WHITEHEAD

Opening Night: THURSDAY 22ND JULY 6.00PM
Continues: 23RD JULY – 7TH AUGUST, 2010.

About the Show:
Self-taught Sydney artist, Trent Whitehead will present a new body of work at Monster Children Gallery. With this series, Whitehead attempts to represent a disparate and essentially unusual view of past and future.

Just like a dream is the mere sorting and cataloguing of a day’s events by our subconscious, Whitehead’s paintings on wooden panels are subtly filled with experiences of his own existence. The wondrous and often humorous paintings make up one half of the exhibition. The other half consists of his distinctive masks, which have become a significant component of his artist practice. The masks, lending themselves to the life-giving process of construction, are three dimensional embodiments of the delinquents from his paintings. Pieced together from geometric shapes and painted with the same Memphis-like colour palette and omnipresent patterning as the paintings, a certain intensity and vitality is introduced.

August 13 through to September 5

“Janette Beckman’s photography exhibition marks the third artist installment at Project Space. Beckman culls works from her time in London during the punk era through the hip-hop decade in New York and Los Angeles. The show will feature artifacts and photographs of musicians, their fans and youth culture.”
