In 1967, Joan Lindsay’s Picnic at Hanging Rock was published without one of its chapters, which was finally released twenty years later, shortly after Lindsay’s death. Inspired by that missing chapter eighteen, Australian artist Kathy Smith is in the midst of the work-in-progress “Slippages,” currently on view at the Tamarind Arts Council on East 39th St. The multimedia, multidisciplinary exhibit, which uses cutting-edge digital technology to “explore the mysteries of time, life and consciousness,” closes on March 9 with an artist talk by Smith. “I want to show the correlation of three-dimensional time to three-dimensional space and how the evolution of creative processes such as drawing, painting, holography, animation and installation map the non-linear or multiple time perception that is core to this project,” Smith explains. It’s a complex work with lots of scientific detail, which should make for a fascinating illustrated lecture.
