ARTIST TALK: WILLIAM KEDDELL

Tuesday 12 April, 6.30 - 8.00pm, Satellite Gallery

It is the 21st century and it is time to examine sterography's absence in the art world.

Satellite Gallery's March/April resident artist William Keddell will give a short presentation about stereo-vision, tell something of the history of stereography and of its strange exclusion from the Modernist history of photography.

"The full history of stereography's exclusion from the canon, its appropriation by the cult of the single image (accomplished by publication of half views), and the suppression of its history, influence, popularity has much to do with ideology and the promulgation of certain assumptions regarding talent.

Stereography did not fit the 'photo as art' crusade. The double nature of the image pair itself created a fundamental problem when it came to the individual expression of genius metaphorically represented by the single master print".

The presentation will include visual clues and aids to teach visitors the art of stero cross-eyed visualisation.
