SUMMARY:Aether.scs02 Installation at Aura Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Business of Aura- Opening August 12th at the Elga Wimm
 er Gallery.\n\nThe concept of aura has myriad associations in art and 
 design history, from the Frankfurt School to New Age Spiritualism. All
  too often, however, the term is read in its narrowest sense- the aura
  that Walter Benjamin mourned the loss of in his famous essay Work of 
 Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, now 75 years old. Rather th
 an taking up the terms of that debate, asking whether or not art today
  has lost its aura, this collection aims to reclaim a broader understa
 nding of aura in contemporary practices today.\n\nIn popular culture, 
 aura is generally defined as a symptom of altered visual or sensual st
 ates. Reflecting this, the current exhibition includes works that prod
 uce visceral affect-based responses. These works operate through mater
 ial richness, surface tactility, striking geometry, animate form, and 
 light. Also included are works that encompass an inventive reading of 
 aura. In this context, the exhibition models creative studio practice 
 as a general force that extends beyond boundaries and containers- the 
 aura here is not so much a property of an object that can be sensed, b
 ut rather a conceptual ambition to start with the everyday and then ex
 pand beyond it, producing new structures, symbols, or social interacti
 ons.\n\nOther works look at an interior aura- they focus on individual
  subjects who are lost in an environment, engrossed in their own world
 . Through narrative, these works look at the psychological potential o
 f aura to produce new experiences of reality. Linking the works is the
  \"business of art- the buying and selling of designed objects located
  within a market\". As much as art relies on creating \"otherness\", t
 he art market is ultimately about the desire of the intangible, the au
 ra of the work. The art business provides a stage for aura. The exhibi
 tion is a testimony to a multitude of perspectives, showing that the B
 usiness of Aura remains as intangible yet present today as it was seve
 nty-five years ago.\n\nArtists & architecturally trained designers at 
 Elga Wimmer Gallery include - Helen Brough, Elizabeth Cooper, Cmmnwlth
