Modulations #3
Cantata Reconfigured

27 June - 24 August

Modulations : Cantata ReConfigured isan exhibition of recent work by Australian born and educated Lyn Plummer.  For the last ten years she has been Principal lecturer in charge of painting at School of Art, Otago Polytechnic. 

As implied in the title, the installations move from one gallery to
the next and are concerned with changing the nature of the space. 
They reconfigure andintroduce new works based mainly on a recent visit to the Andalucían, SemanaSanta processions.  A special feature
is an artwork unique to the Forrester. 

As the title also suggests, Modulations, infers changes in pitch
and toneand consequently in the connotations possible in utterances and traces of marks of all types.  The exhibitions involve both the mark/trace, as well as sound as Cantatas.  These are a way of marking/recording the existence of an experience. 

We tend to take for granted the possession of language and the
sense of control that this facility gives us. The structures within languages relate directly to the nature of the medium and its process.
For instance stitching, embroidery and lace-making too have a vocabulary and language that often is not recognized or overlooked.

Each of the sound tracks in the installation forms an important element in the idea of language evolving and the discovery of the voice of challenge and dissent.
