16th March - 2nd March Opening 6-9pm 16th March   Chips, whips, chains and dips. "FETISH" is coming to The Owl and the Pussycat. Opening Wednesday the 16th of March through until the 3rd of April. The gallery will feature a series of mixed media including: painting, photography, installation, multimedia projection/film, live performance and illustration. Flesh lights, beads, harnesses, masks, latex, rubber, chains, robots, mobile phones, game consoles, pokie machines, computers, ipods, ipads, and iphones; they’re all devices of a fetish. A Fetish comes from the Latin term facticius, it is an object believed to have supernatural powers, or in particular, a man-made object that has power over others. Today we commonly associate fetishism and fetishes with sexual fetishism, which is the sexual arousal a person receives from a physical object. Exhibition Curator Matto Lucas states: “we are not here to judge, but to celebrate, entertain, expose and excite”. The exhibition explores the interpretation by various artists and what FETISH means to them. What’s your fetish? Exhibition includes works by: Projecor Obscura - multimedia Stephen Thompson – visual artist James McCullough – visual artist, Andrew Merlino – film maker, Elizaveta Maltseva – visual artist, Jack Sheppard – visual artist, Lu Diamond – illustrator, Clare Rab Lynch – visual artist, Gloria Wolfgang – graphic design, Brett Ludeman – creative, Carol Cardonne - photographer.
