Artist's Talk | Sarah Munro

Sarah Munro's current works explore ambiguities between actual and illusory form. First initiated during her Frances Hodgkins Fellowship residency in 2006, this series stems out of her intimate knowledge of program CAD (Computer Aided Design) which has a range of industrial applications both for generating mass produced and one off objects. Munro toys with the way CAD represents onscreen previews of three-dimensional form by re-rendering these exaggerated shadows into the surface of her objects. Her illusory light effects generate highly perceptual experiences of form.

Come along and hear Sarah talk about her current work at Te Tuhi and her boarder art practice.

Select > Effect > Export presents a selection of projects that approach mathematical and mechanical methods of art production. Traversing from the miniature to the enormous, the exhibition explores calculated procedures of scaling up and reducing down linear form. From a large-scale typographic wall piece by Rose Nolan, to the machine carved objects of Sarah Munro, to an intricate set of hand produced drawings by John Lyall based on the 1mm grid of architectural drafting film, Select > Effect > Export approaches rule-based procedures of art fabrication and asks: what can be learned from mimicking machines?
