Past Exhibition

Witty Canadian artist Mitch Robertson examines the interactions of people. From the brief crossing of paths with a stranger on the street or seen on television, to his own public school class in the 80s, Robertson acknowledges and glorifies what we as the general public accept and have learned to ignore; the general public. This exhibition will celebrate the single encounters with strangers forgotten before they were ever really known, mock the concept of '15 minutes of fame' with an organised archive of these brief moments and reassert the truth in the phrase, 'out of sight, out of mind'.

Mitch Robertson is a conceptual artist. His practice both celebrates and condemns the intertwined paths of tourism, globalisation and consumerism through small-scale editions to large installations. His work has been shown across Canada and New Zealand, as well as Switzerland, England, Northern Island, Australia and the USA since 1998.
