Douglas Stichbury (NZ)
"Working primarily in drawing and painting, Stichbury's work focuses on the modern relationship between individuals and larger institutional bodies. With the intensification of network structures organisations have become increasingly opaque; the operations through which decisions that relate to everyday life are made are often hidden or invisible, taking place in unknown spaces and carried out by anonymous individuals. Relative to this, Stichbury creates work that attempts to reflect on these events."
Főképpen a szabadkézi grafika és a festészet eszközeit használva Stichbury munkái az egyén és a nagyobb szervezeti formák modern viszonyát vizsgálja. A hálózati struktúrák térnyerésével együtt nőtt a szervezeti formák átláthatatlansága is; azok a műveleti lépések, amelyek során a mindennapi életünket befolyásoló döntések születnek, gyakran rejtve maradnak vagy láthatatlanok, ismeretlen helyeken történnek és anoním személyek hajtják végre őket. Stichbury alkotásaival ezekre az eseményekre igyekszik reflektálni.
