    Richmond Cultural Centre Performance Hall

    Aimée Henny Brown, Saskia Jetten, Ross Kelly, and Colin Lyons will introduce their art practice and discuss their process for their works in the Transference exhibition. The exhibition investigates the aesthetic and formal criteria specific to contemporary print media, while highlighting challenges and opportunities digital technology presents to the function and process of the medium and its contribution to the conceptual construction of artworks. Underlying the works is the notion of image transfer as well as the transference of meaning supported and sometimes led by digital technologies.

    Moderated by guest curator Hannamari Jalovaara.
    Opening Reception of the exhibition to immediately follow.

    Free admission, everyone welcome to attend.
