The Room That Was (Mnemonia)

1 February – 23 February, opening Thursday 31 January, 6 - 8pm

Artist Talk Thursday 21 February, 12.30 - 1.30pm

The Room That Was creates a new learning space for the improvement of the unco-operative body – a mobile mnemonia room. It is a place where the subject’s memory can be rendered to suit other points of view. The subject can be indoctrinated anytime, anywhere, and by any method inside the The Room That Was – especially designed for the dimensions of the average sized human body (astromonk – an incipient being). It is a mobile asylum for the European consciousness (much like Australia).

Recently, Cameron Bishop has been working with the artist collective, Bozo Ink, on their Mnemonia project, exhibiting a piece at the McClelland Gallery Sculpture Survey and Award. Cameron has exhibited extensively in Melbourne and also in New Zealand. He currently teaches and is trying to finish a PhD at Deakin University.
