GROUP EXHIBITION

Ames Yavuz invites early career curator Tai Mitsuji to transform the Reservoir Street gallery into a container for dreams. Titled, Dreamscape, Mitsuji’s exhibition invites six artists to reflect on the spectacles and thoughts that linger on the other side of our consciousness, including works by Sundari Carmody, Cathleen Clarke, Oliver Hobday, Anna May Kirk, Rebecca Selleck, and Elle Wickens. When was the last time you dreamed? When was the last time you closed your eyes and fell into action, rather than rest? In the moments when we slip into sleep, our thoughts usually fold and fade away. But sometimes they don’t. Sometimes we enter into a drastically different space: the dreamscape. This is the space of sleep, yet it is not the space of undisturbed dormancy. Within the dreamscape, anything is possible. The lingering hypotheticals and unaired questions of our waking lives are given expression. The dreamscape is a place of escape, but it also a space of renewal, where realities can be made and remade, and new worlds built.
