Ying Ang: Between Here and There at Immersion Therapy Artspace

Immersion Therapy, a new not for profit art space in Northcote, is pleased to announce the opening of its inaugural exhibition, Between here and there by photographer Ying Ang on Friday September 26, 2008 from 6pm-9pm.

Virtually self taught, Ang has hewn a highly successful career from fashion and commercial photography, capturing the extremes of ephemeral and timeless styles on a daily basis. Between here and there marks a departure from her commercial work, and instead finds Ang seeking and celebrating the beauty which we persistently overlook. Between here and there revels in and celebrates the quiet beauty of the in between. Shifting the emphasis away from the result and the final destination, Ying's series of images, taken from all corners of the world, glisten not with the idealised end product, but instead with the deeper lustre of the beauty which naturally accumulates, expands and grows during the course of the journey.

It is from these seemingly unquiet moments that Ying Ang draws from. Sans the fanfare, disappointment and ultimately fleeting elation which accompanies a final stop, she assembles a series of consistently anticipatory and still images, as ripe with expectation as they are in their gentle grace.

Immersion Therapy, a curator run art space, is proud to inaugurate its 2008-09 program with Between here and there. The program will continue with its focus on contemporary art produced by Australian based and regional artists who are either directly or generally influenced by the increasingly prominent cultural motifs of Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

This is Ying's first solo exhibition in Melbourne following exhibitions in New York and the Gold Coast.
Between here and there is showing at Immersion Therapy, 420 High Street, Northcote, from September 26 to October 12, 2008.

Gallery hours; Fridays 12 - 6pm,
Saturdays & Sundays 12 - 5pm.
Other times by appointment.
