James Murnane

INBOUND GOODS

Enrique Tochez Anderson and James Murnane

30-31 January, 2016

1 Parslow Street, Clifton Hill

INBOUND GOODS presented new works by James Murnane and Enrique Tochez Anderson in the loading bay and goods lift of an old red brick factory at 1 Parslow St, Clifton Hill. Converging in this unique space, the artists used their painting practices to muse on environment and two distinct approaches to abstracted form.

September 23 - October 10

Trocadero Art Space

Level 1, 119 Hopkins St, Footscray

Wed-Sat 12-5pm

Ought I say, “I shall take you, take you to the gate”? Yet I fear being too demanding. Brought low, brought low. I pray you be brought high, brought high. By seven signs, some I have seen, some I have heard, some I have made, some of mere longing. Thus gently I invite, “Come and see, taste and see.”

James Murnane completed his BA(FA) at RMIT University in 2006, and lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. His practice focuses upon the transcendent capacity of visual and spatial encounters. James and his wife recently undertook a month long residency at La Fragua, Belalcazar, in the province of Cordoba, Spain, after travelling the country encountering the depth of its sacred art, architecture and festivals.
