'In bright brief moments' is a group exhibition of artists investigating ideas of self-hood and the formation of identity.
Speaking in an interview about her essay collection 'Can You Tolerate This?', writer Ashleigh Young explains “your sense of self can, in bright brief moments, seem heightened.” Weaving personal histories with re-telling other's stories, Young's essays create a complex and varied way to consider identity and attempts to find moments of clarity amid uncertainty.
In these ideas, the painting and photography practices of Danielle Foster, Helen Dowling, Bronwyn Jones, Gerry Parke, and Roberta Thornley find common ground and acknowledge the multiplicities of a complex and even contradictory self-hood.
