Parallel Lines: An exhibition by Rossanne Pellegrino and Tai Spruyt

La Bohème, 36 Grote Street  Adelaide

Opening: 2 Mar 2008, 3pm - 5pm  Exhibition Dates:  2 Mar – 31 Mar 2008.

Parallel Lines is a product of two artists living within two very separate geographical boundaries, capturing moments in time through evocative photographic imagery.   Exploring communities, cultures and the surroundings in which these things belong, the artists’ highlight the differences, and by the same token, the similarities, between two very different locations. 

The works featured in Parallel Lines are sensitive in nature and appearance, resembling modern day paintings; the artists’ use of Polaroid SX-70 film lends to this surreal and dream like quality which their photographs possess.

This is their tale of two cities; of a place called Adelaide and another called London.

from March 2nd, all work can be viewed and purchased on www.weareallartists.co.uk

Inhabited will be open 10.00am-9.00pm, 21 February - 16 March.
Inhabited is presented by Friends of the Earth Adelaide, and supported by the Ron Gray Human Rights Foundation and the SEARCH Foundation.
