100 Flowers

There's a Chinese poetic saying "Let a hundred flowers bloom, let the hundred schools of thought contend." This inspired a Chinese Communist movement in 1956-57, the Hundred Flowers Campaign. The exhibition for Latitude 53 will be video installation and single channel video focusing upon identity (both in terms of sexuality and race and otherness), desire, and fantasy.

Artist Talk: November 22nd at 2pm.

I Bet They Can Tell Just By Looking

This body of work is inspired by the simple - and complex - question "When did you first realise you were different?" That moment was
articulated in preschool, when a classmate stated that playing dress up wasn't something that boys did.

McEwen first explored this experience through watercolour portraits of awkard-looking children and now through larger oil paintings. McEwen's work extends his interest in gender and sexuality to a consideration of exclusion and difference, and the common human experience of people feeling separate or
unable to relate to their peers and social groups beyond surface interactions.
