Passage is excited to invite you to the exhibition opening of Michaela Gleave's The sky continues beneath our feet next Friday, August 4, between 6PM - 8PM.
Michaela Gleave's practice questions the nature of reality and our innate relationship to time, matter, and space, utilising multiple elements of media, from billboards that make proclamations aimed at the stars to even creating a literal cloud. Gleave has long been communicating with the cosmos, creating her own cosmos or connecting us with its secrets for almost two decades.
For her exhibition at Passage, The sky continues beneath our feet, Gleave considers the unseen universe, where statistically 80% is made up of dark matter, a phenomenon that remains unseen and undetected. Gleave divides the gallery into two, where 20% is visible and 80% is concealed behind a constructed wall. Behind the wall is Gleave’s universe: glitter, inflated star balloons, and candy coloured foam. The polycarbonate wall creates a hazy 2D grid effect, a representation of our limited sense of dimensionality, dissecting the installation landscape and standing at odds with the rest of the space.
