Exhibition
Between buildings as between stars
Devonport Regional Gallery
‘Between buildings as between stars’ brings together the work of Andy Hutson, Alicia
King, Georgia Lucy, Meg Walsh, Kate Marshall, Ali Noble, Meg Walsh, and Grace Wood to
explore the intersections between the known tangibility of material worlds and spaces
that are unknown, mysterious, fictitious, or speculative.
Drawing on the popular modern paraphrase, ‘as above, so below’, from the medieval
Hermetic text of the Emerald Tablet, this exhibition delves into the human desire to
uncover meaning and understanding, in physical spaces of personal and collective
experience, as well as spaces that are out of reach or yet to be revealed.
This exhibition acts as a meditation on notions of wonder, alluding to material and
imagined forces of the body, alchemy, science, the occult, cosmology, technology and art
history. Together, the artist’s will explore realms of uncharted territory and those that echo
familiarities and imaginaries of the everyday.
