Fresh from its successful first exhibition in Sydney, Limn File hits Christchurch on 1 August. This collective, represented by Matt Glenn, Nicholas Hudson-Ellis, Melissa Laing and Michele Zarro, refuses themed exhibitions and house styles. Instead, its exhibitions revel in the particularity of the individual without forgetting the broader communal endeavour of the exhibition.Fresh from its successful first exhibition in Sydney, Limn File hits Christchurch on 1 August. This collective, represented by Matt Glenn, Nicholas Hudson-Ellis, Melissa Laing and Michele Zarro, refuses themed exhibitions and house styles. Instead, its exhibitions revel in the particularity of the individual without forgetting the broader communal endeavour of the exhibition.Exhibition one covered aeroplanes, oceans, home porn, and minimalist LED disco effects, all created with a mishmash of modernist and post- aesthetics. With exhibition two, they're pulling out the stops with bullet holes, unravelled blankets, teledexes and other misappropriated paraphernalia.

Tight, experimental and constantly conversing and arguing with each other, the artworks in this upcoming High Street Project exhibition are an approach to the wider domain of recent Australian art practices, and the broader context of international visual arts.

When: 1-18 August 2007
Where: High Street Project, Level 1, 140A Lichfield St, Christchurch
