OPENING THURSDAY 6PM 12 JULY

EXPERIMENTAL ART FOUNDATION
ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA

JAMES DODD uses images and logos from popular, sub, and
outlaw culture to construct his artwork. Rock'n'roll,
commercially and individually applied street cultures, and
their modes, are all constants in Dodd's practice. Political
comments and seemingly inane social observations come
together in densely presented groups of work that offer
critical analyses of Australian culture. The work explores
critical examinations and applications of design and
subculture inherent in non-disciplined graffiti.
Speakeasy is a a major installation that has painting,
sculpture, video and aural elements. The installation
references the American prohibition era practice of running
illegal and secretive booze establishments as an analogy for
the political concept of sedition that we currently
experience as Australians.

James Dodd is active as an arts practitioner, co-ordinator
and teacher. He has spoken as a representative of street art
culture at the National Gallery of Australia and in forums
in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Dodd's work appears in
the permanent collections of the National Gallery of
Australia, the Australian National Maritime Museum, the Gold
Coast City Art Gallery and many private collections. He is
currently a full time Masters candidate at the University of
South Australia. Dodd is repr esented by Ryan Renshaw
Gallery, Brisbane.

UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist-duo created in Vienna, Austria,
by Lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind
UBERMORGEN.COM we can find one of the most unmatchable
identities - controversial and iconoclastic - of the
contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-garde. Their
open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art,
pixel-painting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture
and digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand
into a hybrid Gesamtkunstwerk.
UBERMORGEN.COM's work is unique not because of what they do
but because of how, when, where and why they do it. The
computer and the network are (ab)used to create art and
combine its multiple forms. The permanent amalgamation of
fact and fiction points toward an extremely expanded concept
of one's working materials, that for UBERMORGEN.COM also
include (international) rights, democracy and global
communication (input-feedback loops). "Uberm orgen" is the
German word both for "the day after tomorrow" and
"super-tomorrow."
Lizvlx is a Vienna and St. Moritz based artist, designer and
technologist, producing both artistic and commercial work
for companies, collectors and institutions. Using technology
and computers as a medium since 1994, she has exhibited her
net.art works in venues like Ars Electronica (Austria),
Konsthall Malmoe (Sweden), the NTT ICC Museum (Japan), ARCO
(Spain) or the Lentos Kunstmuseum (Austria).
Hans Bernhard is a Vienna and St. Moritz based artist
working in the fields of digital and fine art. Using
technology, computers and the internet as a medium since
1994, he exhibited and performed in venues like the Museum
of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Japan), Ars Electronica
(Austria), Konsthall Malmoe (Sweden) and the SFMOMA (USA).
