Abstract
Ross Manning Lismore Regional Gallery Situated twenty miles south of Nimbin—Australia’s original hippie commune heartland—Lismore, known as the low-rent, eccentric alternative to the gentrified east-coast surfing village of Byron Bay, is a hot spot for alternative living. A former childhood hometown of Julian Assange and his puppeteer parents, Lismore is a fitting location for Ross Manning’s survey exhibition “Dissonant Rhythms,” which has toured Australia since its inception at Brisbane’s Institute of Modern Art in 2017. The precarious, extra-tactile quality of Manning’s work does suggest a correspondence between repurposing and reprogramming, as if he were a digital artist paradoxically eliding the digital in order to work against what Bishop called the “sealed, impregnable surface of the screen.”
