Step into another world at aMBUSH Gallery this September, where art and technology collide, where creativity reigns supreme, and practical effects take centre stage. The new group exhibition, ‘SideFX 2023’ is your chance to witness the magic that breathes life into the entertainment industry.
In an age where AI’s dominance raises questions about human creativity, ‘SideFX 2023’ stands as a testament to the power of human hands and minds. Back by popular demand, this year’s exhibition builds on the success of last year’s, featuring the finest works from over 30 Australian artists from the film, television and entertainment industries.
From practical effects designers to sculptors, painters to fabricators, technicians to craftspeople, ‘SideFX 2023’ celebrates the hidden talents that bring our favourite on-screen moments to life. These artists are the wizards behind the curtain, crafting illusions that leave us in awe.
Delve into a world of artistry as you explore a diverse array of 2 and 3-dimensional pieces. Intricate sculptures, captivating paintings, detailed scale models, enchanting props, and dynamic kinetic artworks await your discovery. What makes ‘SideFX 2023’ unique is its fusion of past-production creations and the artists’ personal projects – works that break free from the confines of commercial demands.
Curated in collaboration with Steve Katz, and produced and presented by aMBUSH Gallery, ‘SideFX 2023’ features the intriguing creations of these artists whose imagination and efforts are unrestrained in the gallery environment.
