Location:
perth
ARTIST TALK Sunday 22nd May 2016 2-3pm.
Please come meet Geoffrey and listen to the story behind his pieces and his amazing practice,
2 - 22 MAY, PERTH CITY. Official Opening Thursday 5 May 6-8pm. Exhibition to be opened by Jude van der Merwe,
with a performance by Juliana Areias.
After many years of making large-scale public artworks like Totem at
the Perth Arena, Drake-Brockman’s first commercial gallery exhibition
in over a decade showcases painting, static sculpture and interactive
installation. The prominently placed reflective surface is a key motif of
the artist—and serves to embed the viewer into the artwork, and to
signal the possibility of a portal into another world. With his background
in Computer Science, these other worlds are virtual, futuristic domains
which evoke “Robot Mythologies”—stories about emotional bridges
between real people and created beings.
