We, The Muse

Conspiracy theories, cosmic secrets and whistle blowers are the lifeblood of the internet. Yet it is rare that these narratives are used to inspire art.

We, The Muse explores this mysterious, nefarious and often weird world. According to Bill Dimas, one of the organisers, the exhibition takes an approach that is “not political” but “seeks to open up a beautiful subject”.

Artists have responded in creative and innovative ways to the challenge. Ha Ha has painted a series of portraits of leaders of the movements such as David Icke and Project Camelot’s Kerry Cassidy, while Brett Chan has produced multimedia visions of poetic insight.

Cassidy will open the display accompanied by a special presentation of one of Chan’s works. In Dimas’ words the show reminds us to be aware that, “The planet is a conscious living being.” Despite the controversial theme, that seems to be a timely thought. (LR)
