“Post Mammalian Tension is the collaborative debut of American master Michael David and filmmaker Scott Browning.  Their shared affinity for the beauty and haunting resonance of archival imagery is harnessed to seductive effect in their cinematic coupling of manipulated film stills overlaid with dense poured wax.  From moving images whose slowed frame rates pull them back toward the static world of the still image to the ancient process of encaustic, the media itself explores a delicate but enduring cycle of temporal and physical order and entropy; of animation and de-animation; of preservation and destruction; of life and death.  Utterly unique, this show is a cultural tour de force that heralds the advent of an exhibition season of unrivaled excellence and impact in the south’s most highly regarded contemporary gallery”
