ArtWeek Exhibition: B.G.M.E.R.C

B.G.M.E.R.C; breathinggrowingmovingengagingreactingchanging


The White Wall From the Emptiness 2012 / Raewyn Turner Fragrant Earth 2012


Containing a creative ensemble of works developed through new and old technologies, a living improvisation of self and a poetic-kinetic-sculpture improv performance; the works presented in B.G.M.E.R.C pose questions about the environment around us, our thoughts on how scientific research fits within our subjective conscious, how we engage with the immediate environment around us, our sensory perception and the foreign realms of the senses and the very notion of the original as an effect and consequence of how we see oneself.


This show has been inspired by the following statement;

At present the interaction between man and nature is determined by the fact that in addition to the two factors of change in the biosphere that have been operating for millions of years—the biogenetic and the abiogenetic—there has been added yet another factor which is acquiring decisive significance—the technogenetic. As a result, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature and between nature and society as a whole has shown ominous signs of breaking down.
