The conceptual mail art project Shy (dissolution + exchange) is slowly making its way around the southern hemisphere. The work is on display in the exhibition, Yonder at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, James Street, Perth from 8 September – 21 October 2012.
Yonder offers a contemporary perspective on the desire that artists have always had to know ‘what’s over there’. With the notion of ‘mobility’ as the exhibition’s central idea, Yonder considers some of the poetic and pragmatic connotations associated with this strategy for investigating, taking action and day dreaming about one’s place in the world.
