_Stranger than fiction _brings together artists engaged in personal, social and art histories, language, storytelling, and the subjective nature of perception.
Across moving image, performance, text, sculpture and installation, each artist employs material and narrative experiments to trouble boundaries between reality and fiction,__reckoning with the impossible challenge of representing a singular way of representing the world or existing within it, and the absurdity in trying.
Featuring new work alongside existing projects, the exhibition brings together artists based locally, nationally and internationally; Archie Barry (Vic), Teresa Busuttil (SA), Nicholas Currie (Vic), Rosie Isaac (Vic), Basim Magdy (Egypt/Switzerland) and Rä di Martino (Italy), and Sammaneh Pourshafighi (Vic) by West Space's Director Joanna Kitto.
Stranger than fiction is a West Space exhibition presented in partnership with Composite Moving Image and presented across West Space and Composite, Collingwood Yards.
