Jess Johnson & Jordan Marani: Home Is Where My Hell Is

Switchback Gallery, Gippsland Centre for Art & Design
Monash University, Gippsland Campus
29 July - 3 September 2009
Opening function: Tuesday 28 July, 4-6pm
Curator: Dr Kyla McFarlane

Co-directors of Hell Gallery and occasional artistic collaborators Jess Johnson and Jordan Marani present a new exhibition following their artists’ residency at Monash University’s Gippsland Centre for Art and Design in April 2009. Dredging through the detritus of their own and others’ lives, Johnson and Marani draw on shared obsessions including comic books, doom metal, overdue bills and talkback radio. For Switchback Gallery, they will create a ‘hothouse environment … incorporating installation, sculpture, drawing, collage and a soundtrack too. A polyglottal simmering of words, images, shared memories, fantasies, associations and neuroses.’

Jess Johnson & Jordan Marani's Gippsland residency was supported by Monash University’s Gippsland Centre for Art and Design and Monash University Museum of Art.
