Better Lives
Sue Williamson at YOUNGBLACKMANThe opening of Sue Williamson’s 'Better Lives' – a presentation of series of six video portraits from 2003 – will also launch the YOUNGBLACKMAN gallery, an initiative by artist Ed Young and writer Matthew Blackman on Roeland Street. In Williamson’s series, migrants, exiles and refugees listen to a previously recorded version of their life story for the first time. The subjects portray, in their facial expressions and poses, the seriousness and pathos of their stories.
The largescale video projections will be on view from the street only after dark daily - the video projection at the back of the space picks up too much light during daytime hours, though the recorded voices can be heard at all times.
29 September - 28 October
