This Event / Season is closed...
Launching on Valentine’s Day, the exhibition is an insight to the world of artist BrightSide (Katie Bright) and will showcase works that are screen printed onto mirrors, lighting installations and live performance.
BrightSide uses her passion for fancy dress to reflect her feelings and current personal issues. Her images are loosely based around connections to both pre-existing animation characters and those from her vivid imagination. BrightSide’s
characters act as reflections and observations of desires, drawn together by the desire to shift, change or indulge.
The concept is derived from how fairytales in particular, have skewed the vision of romance. The work acts as part of a self-reprogramming experiment by selecting several fable characters to identify with. Each character represents good
and naughty, and acts as a pathway for self-discovery, perhaps, without the necessity for that ‘knight in shining armour to unexpectedly show up to the rescue.’
The opening night will include pole dancing by Bobbi's Pole Dancing Studio, contortions by Bendy Em, roaming cupids by Dwarf Your Party and live music by Erskine Brown, Mr Bamboo and The Cope Street Parade.
Complimentary ice cold XXXX Summer Bright Beer and Green Fairy Absinth cocktails will be served by our ‘muscled up’ topless waiters.
The exhibition will also run alongside an online catalogue with works for sale from 15 to 26 February, allowing interstate buyers to remotely buy works. Information regarding this will be available on the aMBUSH website.
