Mind Map at RAMP Gallery is a collaborative project capturing the potential of subjective thought. A mind map will grow over the walls of the gallery as students and visitors make associations and add their ideas. Manned by a team of installers, visitors to RAMP add their contribution and can watch as the large-scale drawing unfolds.
Mind Map explores the potential of mapping ideas as a drawing and research tool for students studying in Media Arts but will appeal to any avid visual thinker who has ever contemplated the wonder and weirdness of how one thing leads to another.
Opening Preview: Tuesday 21st February 5.30-7.30pm
Selected Proofs consists of a large series of small works, in pencil lead and paper. In this exhibition, Trevelyan continues to explore ideas of geometry, architecture and drawing. Employing a light touch, Selected Proofs questions our expectations of these precise and unyeilding systems. With approximately 50 pieces, Selected Proofs provides an almost narrative thread of the evolution of Trevelyan’s visual hypothesis.
“More akin to sleight of hand, the pencil lead sculptures offer a three-dimensional form which is closer to a drawing, or to an idea, than full-scale architecture.” (Cunnane, 2010)
Media Arts Postgraduates in Fine Arts will present a group exhibition of their final submissions. This will coincide with the Media Arts End of Year Shows across campus.
Survey Hamilton is an ongoing collaborative documentary project spearheaded by a group of Media Arts researchers. The project explores the sweet wallpaper of everyday life in Hamilton City. Over the next few years Survey Hamilton will develop an archive of photographs, moving image, sound recordings and design media. This exhibition features work that gets under the skin of the ‘cambium’, the outer growth ring of the city.
The student volunteers involved in RAMP this year will present a group exhibition of their current work. This show is curated by Tim Croucher, Head of Painting & Sculpture at Media Arts.
