Immersion Therapy, in association with the Preston based Neami Splash Art Studio, invites you (and your own guests) to attend the opening of Vestiges on Friday 15th May from 5pm – 9pm.

Bringing together the work of four local artists from the Neami Splash Art Studio who share Mediterranean and European family backgrounds, Vestiges explores the ways in which an individual’s cultural heritage can leave traces on current practice.

Vestiges presents work across a range of media, including painting, graffiti inspired work and works on paper. The unique approach of the artists involved reflects the individual ways in which each has interpreted the Vestiges brief and, the area in which they are focusing on in their studio art.

Neami Splash Art Studio aims to provide support to marginalised artists within a creative context. Focusing on stimulating individual practice, the studio facilitates access to the arts through studio practice, workshops as well as exhibitions and public arts projects. Immersion Therapy’s partnering with Neami Splash Art Studio for Vestiges marks the first of two collaborations that will take place in 2009 at Immersion Therapy, the next scheduled for October.

Vestiges is staged with the support of the Besen Family Foundation and will be on exhibition from May 15 through to June 7, 2009 at 420 High Street, Northcote.

The artspace is open Fridays to Sundays 12-6pm and at other times by appointment on 0401 183 875.

Immersion Therapy is committed to exploring contemporary art by artists in Australia and beyond. The program emphasizes artists whose work explores cross cultural themes.
