New Works

Opening: Saturday 2 September 17.00 - 21.00

New
Works,
the first exhibition by Carlos & Jason Sanchez at the gallery
since 2010, is a presentation of recent photographic works by the Montreal-based
artist duo. The Sanchez brothers photograph meticulously staged
scenes. Imbued with eeriness, a sense of suspense, and sometimes
explosive sensationalism, their images are mystery stories that
detonate in the viewer's mind.

Through
the intricacy of their custom-built sets and chosen locations, along
with their masterful use of lighting and precise composition, the
brothers freeze enigmatic moments from narratives that are never
fully revealed.

Accompanying
the exhibition is a new monograph on their work titled The
Mystery Of,
written by Adam Leith Gollner and published by Anteism Books. Also
available for purchase is a special edition of the publication that
includes a limited edition Fujiflex print of Border
Crossing.
