Contact Iain Cheesman

30 March 2004 - 17 April 2004

In the East Side space, Iain Cheesman presents Contact, dealing with power but in the form of a reference to childlike fantasies of prowess in war. Resonating with nostalgia and heroic deeds it is also firmly grounded in the domestic by Cheesman's choices of medium (model bi-planes of the Biggles era are plushly quilted in pink and lace). Like a schoolboy playing at war on the lounge room carpet, Contact plays in the gallery, appearing under the guise of a domestic situation.

Presented alongside Belinda Grace Curran Alice
