Mars Bars & Aphrodite

Mars Bars & Aphrodite is an exhibition of new works from a multidisciplinary group of young Sydney artists, set to run late July in one of Redfern’s favourite creative spaces, 107 Projects. Combining the artistic faculties of video, sculpture, architecture and sound design, the project will be interactive and accessible whilst retaining an ethos outside of what is provided by most commercial gallery spaces. As the artists explain; In a time when we can walk through a gallery, whilst listening to a historical podcast, scrolling through Instagram on our phone, encountering culture can become a collage, as we experience it all at once.

Matthew’s artistic interests lie in the correlation between space, sound, light and movement. These themes are all invariably linked to the concept of time. Since studying architecture Matthew has become increasingly aware of the limitations in conveying spatial ideas in a two-dimensional fashion and feels the exhibition space is the perfect exploratory realm.
