The Breathing Space exhibition, which runs from October 5 to 28, is Nola’s first sculpture show. Much of Nola’s current work centres on the exploration of the human figure and face, with a particular focus on the female form.

In Breathing Space, her subjects look through us, as if caught in another place. Although conscious, these figures are not overly alert, yet nor are they inert. Instead, these figures are off in their own world searching for something, caught in their own thoughts and silences.
Nola introduces an auditory sensation in the exhibition, employing the sound of the human breath accompanied by wind instruments to further explore the concept of Breathing Space.
“ When you hear these breathing notes and see the transparent resin sculptures, you feel far away and begin to use more than your eyes to experience these sculptural works”, commented Nola.

Breathing Space will be the first part of a trilogy, an exhibition that will continue at Artereal with “Inhale” in 2007 and “Exhale” in 2008.
Artereal’s focus is on representing works with international content and heavy curatorial influence, with future exhibitions to feature photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, video and other installation work.

Establishing Artereal and the whole site has been a lengthy process and the two women hope that it is a space accessible to both art lovers and the general public.

Information regarding Artereal and Nola Diamantopoulos’ Exhibition Breathing Space can be found on the Artereal website www.artereal.com.au. Opening hours for the exhibition are 12pm to 8pm, Wednesday to Friday; and 10am to 4pm on the weekend.

Media Note: The media is invited to the launch of the exhibition on October 5, from 6.30pm, in the gallery.
