Opening preview: Wednesday 14 March  2007, 5.30pm 
      		Christchurch-based  artist Simon Lawrence has a penchant for the slippage between science and  truth. His installations of objects and video conjure up supernatural activity  and fictitious occurrences in pursuit of the unexplainable, the mischievous  presence that exists in our daily life. path  of the path is a new installation developed for The Physics Room that rolls  out tricks and plays on this slippage, delving into the realm of the  supernatural with a cheeky curiousity. Replete with lightening strikes and  rolling thunder, this installation alters the space and plays with perception. 
      		Simon  Lawrence graduated from the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts with a  BFA (Sculpture) in 2000, and has since exhibited in numerous spaces around New Zealand.  Recent exhibitions include Break: Construct, Govett Brewster   Art Gallery, 2006; PFFFT, HSP, 2006.
