Opening Preview 25th April 2.00pm

Select > Effect > Export presents a selection of projects that approach mathematical and mechanical methods of art production. Traversing from the miniature to the enormous, the exhibition explores calculated procedures of scaling up and reducing down linear form. From a large-scale typographic wall piece by Rose Nolan, to the machine carved objects of Sarah Munro, to an intricate set of hand produced drawings by John Lyall based on the 1mm grid of architectural drafting film, Select > Effect > Export approaches rule-based procedures of art fabrication and asks: what can be learned from mimicking machines?
