RADIANT MATTER I/II/III
DANE MITCHELL
Radiant Matter I/II/III was a series of exhibitions by Dane Mitchell presented at three public galleries across New Zealand in 2011, each exhibition operated in autonomous ways and yet shared similar aesthetic, conceptual and material concerns.
Radiant Matter I, at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery involved the sculptural possibilities of perfume and vapours in their various states of transformation, and the means of containing, diffusing and releasing these into the air. Radiant Matter II at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, extended these concerns — working with witchcraft, glass vessels, obsidian, and a hand-engineered perfume produced with French nose Michel Roudnitska. Radiant Matter III examined perfume and the 'vaporous', the state of suspension or in-between poetic potential of liquids, gases and solids by again working with Roudnitska to develop a synthetic scent of 'The Smell of an Empty Space’.
