brief_description
Catalogue published to accompany exhibition held at Monash University Museum of Art, 15 April - 20 June 2009. How do we make sense of who we are and our place in the world, a world ambivalent to our existence? Our thirst for meaning fuels our encounters with the absurd; whether unexpected or deliberately sought out. Too much of me creates a number of paths through this terrain, encompassing the philosophical weight of the absurd as well as its relationship to play, creation, ridicule, revolt and freedom. Too much of me features the work of Ronnie van Hout, Kirsty Hulm, Laith McGregor, Stuart Ringholt, WorkmanJones and Erwin Wurm, with a detour from Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton. The artists in the exhibition work with aspects of personal refection and self-portraiture. If art and self awareness arise from self reflection, what are the dangers of an excess of self reflection – too much of me? --Monash website.
