Experimental film maker Bob Georgeson presents a series of films that explore themes of memory, loneliness, alienation, mystery and disquiet. The films also reflect his 5 primary areas of exploration: Socio-political commentary, societal collapse and disintegration, chance encounters and collaboration, seeking the marvellous in the mundane and the impacts of new technologies on human interactions.
 
Bob lives and works from his studio at Wallaga Lake on the NSW far south coast. He has exhibited at exhibitions, festivals and events around the world including the UK, USA, Russia, France, Netherlands, Serbia, Syria, Taiwan and within Australia. He is a founding member and coordinator of dadaland collective, artist at SPAMM (SuPer Art Modern Museum), featured artist at the Bega Valley Regional Gallery, member of Glitch Artists Collective, curator and artist at The Wrong – New Digital Art Biennale and member of the Community of Practices Emerging (COPE) project in the Bega Valley.

Five Points of a Circle

You are invited to my exhibition Five Points of a Circle to be held at M16 Artspace in Canberra from 17 January - 3 February 2019. I will be showing 5 films that explore the themes of memory, loneliness, alienation, mystery and disquiet. The films also reflect my 5 primary areas of exploration: Socio-political commentary, the intersection of reality and desire, chance encounters and collaboration, seeking the marvellous in the mundane and the impacts of new technologies on human interactions. The opening will be on Thursday 17 January at 6pm. I will be giving a floor talk on Thursday 31 January between 1-2pm (tbc). I will also be in attendance at the Gallery on the weekend of 26/27th January. M16 Artspace is at 21 Blaxland Crescent, Griffith, ACT. Opening hours are Wednesday - Sunday 12pm - 5pm. The exhibition is funded as part of the M16 Artspace Regional Initiative. Hope to see you there...
