THE TEMPLE COMPLEX

The Temple Complex is an installation by the students of Sydney College of the Arts in response to The 64th Blake Prize at Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre.

Comprised of five elements The Temple Complex explores aspects of spirituality and transcendence by examining religion and spiritual rituals in contemporary society. At a time when we consume more than ever we have become more disconnected as we have ever been from the universe, the earth and each other.

Considering The Temple Complex as a pilgrimage, the work leads you through rites and rituals, drawing on various ideas of purging, a loss of innocence, the occult and love. Tying together these ideas, each of the artworks create a space for the audience to reflect and seek some notion of transcendence.

ARTISTS Ben Croser, Madeline Fountain, Blake Lawrence, Tom Malek, Julie Parkin and Harry Seeley.
