Renèe Helèna Browne: A Strange Eight

A Strange Eight
A Strange Eight is an exhibition of new work by artist Renèe Helèna Browne.
The show contains drawings by Browne, and a soundscape produced with invited contributors Oreet Ashery, Sharlene Bamboat, Aaron Goddard, Mason Leaver-Yap, Tako Taal, Roy Claire Potter, Hamshya Rajkumar, and Aman Sandhu.
‘A Strange Eight’ is the third episode of Rebuilding Urania, an ongoing oral archiving programme of Urania, a little-known journal which was privately published from 1916 to 1940. The journal foregrounded fluidity as an ideal model of gender and sexuality, and each issue began with the statement, “There are no ‘men’ or ‘women’ in Urania.” The development of the project has involved Browne connecting with invited people to respond to articles from the original journal and in doing so build friendships around ideas in the work.
