statement

Brass Art explore real space and virtual space by positioning themselves as drawings, shadows, digital sprites and performers.

Sometimes they seek privileged vantage-points from which they can oversee the architecture of the city; occasionally they trespass; or occupy seemingly inaccessible realms. Central to this is their examination of the gap between public and private experience, and of thresholds or liminal spaces – “the blurred and flickering temporal space of the imagination and the actuality of contemporary life.”

Brass Art are interested in exploring the rich potential of old and new media. Combining a fascination with pre-cinematic optical illusory devices with cutting edge 21st Century technologies, mixing traditional and contemporary skills, the real with the illusory.
