Mark Amery,
Resisting (almost) the urge to name names,
The Dominion Post, 23.12.05 pB8
‘Ironically, in 2005 the most dynamic public work -often by mid career artists working at their peak – was being shown in the hardest-to-find space with the shortest opening hours in town. I’ll relent and provide one ‘best of’ gong: to project space Show in Knigges Ave for providing since its establishment in 2004 consistently engaging contemporary art.’

Outer Nebular Drifter – vjRex,
un magazine, issue 2, pp58-59, Melbourne, Aus 04.
“Rex is an artist whose practice is concerned with how we filter and experience intensive and continuous stimulation.””His spaces are amorphous simulacra of urban sites, part drum and bass club zone… and part postcolonial wonderland.””One of the strengths of the work is the balance he achieves between sonic and visual vibration, and the static discrete object.”
