Now Here No Where
Ethecae is pleased to present Now Here No Where by March Hutchinson and Dita Kubin. May 6th to May 21
This exhibition brings together an independent body of work by each artist – the photography of Dita Kubin and drawings and paintings by March Hutchinson – as well as a collaborative project entitled Now Here No Where.
Dita Kubin’s black and white photographic series, Recollections: memory streams and the reconstructed portrait, are comprised of traditional wet-lab and digital processes subtly fused together. Kubin’s photographic montages attempt to explore the human figure in relation to the movement of time and space. Her reconstructed multi-dimensional portraits resemble memory streams, which are paradoxically abstract and detailed at the same time.

March Hutchinson’s series, On The Verge, tells a story of impossibility and makes it utterly unremarkable. It is a fantastical fiction describing a tiny moment in the vastness of the sky trapped by the necessity of balance. Each figure is precariously on its own precipice, and confined by space. These images are at once full of breath, lightness and movement, and yet also absolutely still. http://www.marchhutchinson.com/
Together, these two artists share a strong curiosity of time and space, and both work with images that express sensitivity to a particular moment. It is with great enthusiasm that they embarked upon a collaborative project, entitled Now Here No Where. This project developed as a call-and-response narrative where fragmented phrases and poetic imagery turned into a formal poem, which ultimately led them into a visual multi-media back-and-forth dialogue.
