Got this through last night for a group show coming up at TCB Gallery. Looks to be an eclectic collection of artists from a variety of different mediums and artistic walkways – something a little different to check out and soak up!

“The exhibition title ‘busy, busy’, comes from the phrase ‘Busy, busy, busy’ which is what people of the fictional religion, ‘Bokonon’ (from the novel ‘Cats Cradle’ by Kurt Vonnegut), whisper upon witnessing an example of how interconnected everything is.

The invite image (below) is a reassertion of this idea of idea and truth lost within each other, both existing simultaneously and unconnected similarity: the image is of a false computer window featuring a seemingly abstracted pattern titled ZOOMLEARYNOSE.JPG, an image file name, yet the abstracted pattern is an actual portion of magnification from a JPG of Dr Timothy Leary’s nose, the most well known and determined advocate of the consciousness expanding drug, LSD. In reality, the image isn’t even a JPG file type image file, its a bitmap or a BMP image type.

The work within ‘busy, busy’ focuses on coincidence and connection between seemingly disparate or unrelated… ah things, you know, objects, images, subject matter, whatever dude, whatever. It is filled with irreverence against logic, a working model of the universe, albeit infinitely smaller and confined to representation via artworks in all their fallible glory.”
