Now showing at the Centre for Contemporary Photography is recent work by Olga Bennett as part their latest group presentation titled Index.
Index brings together seven photographic artists with converging interests across collecting, categorising and arranging, with a focus on the way meaning is derived through the lens of the studio and studio-based practice. Through revisiting images over time, organising, shuffling and reordering, Index considers the personal, tactile and physical aspects of working within the studio, and the unexpected outcomes that can often become the most meaningful.
Featuring Olga Bennett (VIC), Christopher Day (VIC), Karl Fritsch (NZ) and Gavin Hipkins (NZ), Sarah Mosca (NSW), Saskia Pandji Sakti (VIC) and Benjamin Sexton (VIC), Index will be a collection of studio fragments that ask us to consider the significance of small gestures, considered moments and studio experiments.
