“Pink Balls”
Bruce Mowson
23 Apr → 8 May 2004

Pink Balls deals with phenomenology and experience, seeking to create a tension between what is perceived to be real and what is objectively real. I'm interested in how we reconcile an experience of conflicting realities – what we know versus what the senses identify.

Pink Balls works with the ephemeral nature of sound and video – existing in the eternal zone of the present – but rendered as definable, near static objects that can be observed and contained within that fleeting present.

The work is designed for and made in the gallery – the dimensions and feeling of the space being an equal element to sound and light in the experience of the work.

Bruce Mowson has worked with sound since 1992, and has exhibited and performed since 1998 at a variety of venues locally, nationally and internationally. He is currently undertaking a Masters by Research at RMIT Media Arts, teaching sound and video at Monash University, and is a director of the Liquid Architecture festival. His sound and architecture construction The Shower, produced with Pia Ednie-Brown, is being exhibited at the RMIT Project Space in May 2004, and he is currently completing his first solo CD.
