ÉCUME Gallery in Aspendale will host Participation Mystique, the latest exhibition by NY based photojournalist and filmmaker Tim Georgeson.
The gallery’s first solo exhibition – and Georgeson’s first in Melbourne – will run Friday 8 to Friday 22 April. The opening night event on Friday will run 7-9pm.
Born in Sydney, Georgeson has a permanent collection at The National Portrait Gallery of Australia, Canberra, and has won numerous awards, including World Press Photo, Leica, Cannes, and New York Festival.
Écume gallery, which opened in November, offers an intimate and engaging space for Bayside residents to taste established and emerging art.
Écume Gallery CEO and Curator Boe Sapun said Participation Mystique uses dark, emotive dreamscapes to invite viewers to explore their subconscious and embrace the visceral and intangible moments that define human togetherness.
“Georgeson is inspired by finding the truth in art. He transports us to different lands, cultures, colours and people, while tapping into a universal feeling that is intrinsically familiar and raw,” she said.
The exhibition is a combination of moody and evocative prints, and marks the premiere of the Participation Mystique film and sound installation.
Écume Gallery is at 106 Nepean Hwy, Aspendale, visit ecumegallery.com.au
