Experimental Painting Workshop EPW: 1980-2010.
As he lives in Australia and travels internationally, works are often made in situ using local materials in the days before the opening. At Hebel_121 works produced in different cities over a period of years are brought together for the exhibition. Each exhibition is specific to the size and architecture of the museum or gallery space. The exhibition as such provides a focal point for discussion about art and the possibilities for painting today.
Im back space präsentiert Justin Andrews seine black and white photographs of projections on his studio wall. The photographed projections are of random configurations in cut paper, enlarged via an over-head projector. A number ot photographs have been layered in each image. The end result is a highly complex image that acts as a record of a number of instantaneous events…a compression of split-second timeframes. A composition in height, width, depth and time.
