Jess MacNeil | e-invite and newsletter

Situated at the point of contact between the individual and the city, this exhibition negotiates the interplay between physical and psychological space and the resonances of ephemeral experience.

Drawing on recent personal experience living in the London and travel further afield and closer to home, the work traces the movement of bodies through space, and the pliancy of space as it is traversed over time, translating these into manipulations of paint and digital video.

And congratulations to JESS MACNEIL on her inclusion in two international museum exhibitions this month:

the Yebisu International Festival for Art & Alternative Visions at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, from 20 February until 1 March

and Rising Tide: Film and video works from the MCA Collection, Sydney at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego from 22 February until 21 June.
