The Giver by Aidan Gageler Opening Night

Exhibition opening hours Tuesday - Friday 10am-4pm, Saturday - Sunday 12-4pm. 

Opening Night: Friday 5th 6-8pm

Australian artist Aidan Gageler lives and works between Awabakal and  Yuin Land (Lake Macquarie/South Coast, NSW). He graduated from Camberwell  College of the Arts, UAL (London, UK) with first-class honours. Gageler’s practice

thinks through photography’s receptibility, both to light and to sentiment. Curiously, his materials bruise with exposure to time, attesting to a kind of fleshy experience akin to our own.

Photographs made without a camera, the works in The Giver are ungoverned by intelligible markers and avoid being read as pictures or symbols. Instead, they open up the possibility of being felt or experienced, affordances offered commonly to music but rarely visual art.
