Nightshifters

4 November 201013 November 2010

Curated by Bec Dean

The shift in time, space, perception and experience as day turns to night underpined this site-based installation project of moving-image works by eight of Australia’s foremost video and new media artists: Cordelia Beresford, Alexis Destoop, Samuel James, Angelica Mesiti, Kate Murphy with Basil Hogios, Eugenia Raskopoulos, Dominic Redfern and John Tonkin.

Nightshifters artists were commissioned to work in concert with CarriageWorks’ material textures and architectures, utilising the ephemeral forms of video, light and sound, while also considering video as a live art form.
