LEAH GRYCEWICZ & PANOS COUROS dLux MediaArts

Living in Europe for the last 3 years has refreshed my love for video art. It was an amazing experience to have been exposed to so many fresh approaches to the medium especially by young artists form all over the world. New Releases was conceived as a project to introduce the Australian audience to the various forms of current video art practice by these relatively new artists. Although many have shown extensively in Europe, for most this will be the firt time their work will be shown outside that continent. I would like to thank dLux MediaArts for producing New Releases and Gallery 4A and the AGNSW for supporting this project with great warmth and enthusiasm. EMIL GOH (CURATOR), NEW RELEASES
