There are over a dozen meanings associated with X; it is an unknown, an influence, a mystery, a kiss, a generation, an agent, an Icon, to sign here, to multiply, to censor, to negate, to exit, as an unnamed, a verb transition and the number 10 to name a few. Natalie Taylor is a Brisbane based artist whose current practice focuses on the interaction of the primary symbol X within her life experiences. Self.X.Posure represents Taylor's concepts and emotions whilst delving into family loves, miss-adventures and the destruction of the significant other, which is not named or identified. Taylor has drawn inspiration for this exhibition from Cy Twombly and Antonio Tapies, whose works were influential in the way the human mind questions the powerful demand of a mark and how it is applied metonymically.

Four Flights presents selected work from a wonderful cohort of graduating and Honours students from the 2008 RMIT University, Fine Arts.

The 23 artists in Four Flights have worked with veracity, courage and sensitivity alongside an awareness of the banality of uninspired practice. However they are also acutely aware that only through a depth of engagement within the ordinary will the extraordinary be accessible. Elusive as this is, and beyond prediction and prescription, this approach might be marked by accident, absurdity, catharsis, humour, exhaustive integrity, clairvoyant vision, or by simply being ‘in the zone’. As in a perspective drawing where the linear length is defined and finite but the trajectory is endless and infinite, Four Flights suggests both limitation and transcendence.
