Katie Paine: Cities of Glass | SCREENWORKS
The video Cities of Glass uses a fictitious narrative to examine the historical development of mirrors and their scientific innovations. Cities continues a long-held consideration of slippery, retreating images. The work explores the perplexing nature of vision and how the ways that we see the world affect our experience of time and place.
Katie Paine is a Naarm-based artist and writer. Her practice spans installation, video, narrative fiction, drawing, photography and occasionally performance. Her practice concerns itself with the serpentine trajectories of ideas and information across time, and the ways that we encounter and understand the world through the collection of information and the construction of knowledge.

Your evening stroll could look like this ⭐️
Just a short walk from Moorabbin station 🚶 lies our outdoor lightbox gallery, currently home to Katie Paine’s photographic series, ‘A Circular Exchange’.
This outdoor exhibition is located outside the Kingston Arts Centre, and is free to view at all hours of the day, seven days a week.
‘A Circular Exchange’ by @dreamsofspeaking employs methods of still life photography to mediate between archival images and site photography. The work draws upon archival materials from the State Library of Victoria’s telecommunication archives, alongside photographs taken at the Deutsches Science and Technology Museum in Munich 🎞️

🕐 Open 24/7
📍 Outdoor Lightbox Gallery, Kingston Arts Centre, Moorabbin
Bureaucracy of Feelings curated by @diegoramirezlovering is the fourth and final in a series of exhibitions looking back at four decades of @gertrudecontemporary . As a relative newcomer to the city, I have found this series highly educative in articulating the different communities and networks that Gertrude has fostered, and perhaps more importantly, its outsized influence on the development of contemporary art in Melbourne, and Australia more broadly, over the past forty years.
Honoured to present two works from my optical series Observer / Al-Manazir 1 & 2 (2024) in Bureaucracy of Feelings, curated by Diego Ramirez, alongside many other amazing artists and colleagues. On view at @gertrudecontemporary until 12 October.
Special thanks to @_billyripper & @ianbunyi__ who helped make this install possible
