Project manager Damian Castaldi and his partner Solange Kershaw are relocating to Melbourne, and are taking the Loop Space idea with them – we wish them all the best in their new ventures.

You are all invited to the launch night for a last play on the blue light seats and a massive dose of excellent Australian video art in the final show called Body Capital, curated by Ann Finegan.

Opening Night: Friday 18 June

Opening Night Times: 6pm to 9pm

Each of us is possessed of a body, our own personal body capital, a storehouse of potential wealth and well-being. Collectively it is what each of us stakes in the body politic, in ethics, in concerns for each other and the world.

In Body Capital eight video artists engage in humorous feats, extreme performance and the staging of the extraordinary to test the limit points of politcal will and the body under late Capitalism.

The show features video work by: Liam Benson, John Conomos, Sari Kivinen, Naomi Oliver, Eugenia Raskopoulos, George Tillianakis, Jon Wah and Anastasia Zaravinos

If you can’t make the opening night, the exhibition runs Friday 18 June to Friday 9 July.
