08.01.2022 SLOT AND COVID19 On 25 March 2020 our P.M., Scott Morrison announced the closure of galleries and museums. It is inevitable that a broader lockdown will be in force soon. As SLOT does not generate any physical interaction among the public or... between the public and our exhibition space, SLOT has decided to continue. SLOTs ambition remains, to offer the candle of humanity to anyone who cares to pause and consider the art on offer. Assuming that the lockdown begins before our current show ends we will replace this show with exhibits from the SLOT COLLECTION and recommence our exhibition program after the lock down has been lifted. Along with the temporary closure of commercial and public galleries it is interesting to note that the Biennially of Sydney and the art fair, Art Basel Hong Kong have been reinvented as online projects. Inadvertently perhaps recognising one of the futures of large-scale contemporary art events in our increasingly global culture. In that light, the localised, village reach of SLOT that continues to accommodate a tangible experience of the art object remains an essential cultural project. Tony Twigg. 25 March 2020 See more

04.01.2022 Good friend, fine artist and respected arts writer Lisa Pang has installed a lovely poetic work at Slot. Drive by and stop to take in this show. Lisa Pang (Lisa Sharp) The Crossing, 2020 - July 2020 Lisa Pang (Lisa Sharp)s work Crossing 2020 is an intersection. She describes it as being emblematic of journeys we take, back and forth between places and positions. Its a meditation on hiatus and diversion at the behest of the unexpected, the accidental, and the unintended, w...hich right now is Covid19. Its also an exclamation mark sitting, with remarkable resonance where polarities leach into each other. Resonant of what you ask? And of course life is the answer. Covid19 intervened, isolating Lisa in Sydney while her children and husband John, the Sharp part of her name remain in Tokyo. Her arrival here in March for a show at STACKS projects was but a single event in a life of labyrinthine crossings that began in Jesselton the capital of the British Crown Colony of North Borneo at about the time it became Kota Kinabalu the capital of the Malaysian state, Sabah. Lisas father, the Pang part of her name had arrived there from China when the British North Borneo Company ruled it. He travelled on to Australia under the Colombo Plan to study Architecture at Sydney University and returned with an 8th generation first fleeter, Lisas mum, Janis in 1966. At 12 Lisa was delivered to Australia as a boarding school student - the antithesis of indigenous - the product of layer upon layer of journeys stretching across the era of colonisation that in Northern Borneo dates back to the Castillie War of 1571, half a millennium ago. Three decades later Lisa was a lawyer, married with two children thinking about art. She graduated from N.A.S. in 2016 and changed her name; she says, to Lisa Pang on the 1st of January 2020, not out of frustration with parenthood or marriage but in acknowledgement of something that had surfaced in her art while living in Japan - a leaching of one layer into another by way of a Crossing? Its tempting to consider that as Lisas birth roughly coincided the end of the colonial era, her work Crossing 2020 roughly coincides with the end of the paper era. Across millennia the paper scrolls of China coincide with the New York Times reporting the Covid19 crisis at the moment when paper makes way for the digital scribe. When the swipe of a credit card replaces the reverently tendered bank note. Her emphatic punctuation mark resonates with change that is as permanent as the leaves on the plane trees across the road. It marks the end and it marks the beginning.
