This
exhibition explores the manifestations of fornication. I felt l was sifting
through the remains of scattered innuendo and constructed unfinished works that
leaves you with an open interpretation of things to come (no pun intended).
Candy Barr is a set of glass mirrored
squares constructed in a manner of steps ripe for a saucy disco move. The
mirror ball has been replaced with a bolder and brighter substitute. The
reflection of different angles and warped fantasies reflect back at you.
How
can such simple constructions be construed into a sexual connotation?
Ladies’ Evening is a pair of gold lycra jeans
which are half stuffed. The work lies on the floor with the empty legs as discarded
fabric. The work lies exhausted and in need of some rest. A propped plastic
sheet leans on an opposing wall held by brackets. The plastic sheet has a whole
cut through in the shape of a circle where any number of objects could be
inserted.
The
artist statement written by Nat Thomas was a refreshing read. The statement
reflected on writing and modes of artist publicity, our ideas of galleries
while incorporating the aspects of the exhibition. A brazen statement complimenting an equally fabulously indecent,
suggestive and uncouth exhibition. Franco Cozzo could learn a lot from Lambe’s work.
Until
26APR
