Condensation Annie Attridge Jonathan Baldock Sarah Gillham Anthea Hamilton Eri Itoi Mindy Lee Paul Westcombe 25 February - 27 March 2011 Private View: Friday 25 February 6 - 9 pm, invitation only Seduction isn�t just beauty�s privilege. The abject, the kitsch and the mundane are all potential triggers for desire; the further one gets from a canonical idea of pulchritude, the wilder the attraction can become. Conceived like a museum of curios, Condensation stages this apparent paradox and invites the viewers to navigate the complex mechanics of seduction. The female body is here fragmented and reconfigured like Hans Bellmer�s doll, or rendered functional like the Greek goddess in Dal�s Venus with Drawers. But it re-emerges stronger from these abuses - perhaps because, in line with the Surrealist tradition, these partial bodies have something of the psychological (self) portrait, made all the more accurate by multifarious transformations; perhaps because, as the outstanding details of inaccessible wholes, they gain in seductive power.
