  • Cameron Platter Monster June 7
    Cameron Platter Monster June 7 – July 19 2014 Cameron Platter’s interdisciplinary work examines consumption, excess, detritus, identity and violence within a fragmented society. Through engagement with unorthodox and transient sources, his work schizophrenically documents and unearths contemporary reality. Entitled Monster, this exhibition presents an installation of new sculptures, drawings, ceramics and tapestries that look towards an internal landscape while cannibalizing the personal, political and social. These hybrid monuments to transience and impermanence and nightmare highlight Platter’s continued subversion of both medium and content. In his sculptural series, ‘Aliens’, carved wooden forms recreate totem-like artifacts. Drawn from disparate sources such as Brancusi and Moore; ethnographic objects (from the future or the past); futuristic sci-fi weapons; sex toys and fetish objects – they are an attempt to produce an authentic sculpture in an inauthentic manner. The monolithic sculpture ‘Monster’ is a shape-shifting collage/ assemblage that embodies the collapse of meaning and medium. Standing over 3 m tall, it is parts totem, dysfunctional consumerist object, monument and portal to the 4th dimension, a relic from a dystopian future. The drawings presented in Monster act as formal and conceptual links between the different works. The focal point of these drawings is ‘Stations II’ a large-scale pencil crayon triptych that reflects the artist’s ongoing investigation of the residues of excessive consumption and decay. In the same vein, the ‘Stain’ series of pencil crayon studies capture fallouts and defects, reclaiming unresolved fragments (of other drawings) and reanimating them as formal compositions. ‘River’, a series of charcoal drawings, has its genus in a set of drawings made in strip clubs.
