Please join us for an Finissage for 'The Felling Place' and 'Land marks, with an artist talk by Julia Robinson on Saturday 11th April, 1pm-3pm.
Artist Talk from 1:30pm
Julia Robinson’s ‘The Felling Place’, currently showing at Hugo Michell Gallery, is a foray into eco-horror and plant horror: sub-genres that arise from our fractured relationship with the natural world and might be characterised by narratives where nature is not only sentient but malevolent. In these narratives, plant life may strike back at humans and horror comes from our terrifying encounter with ‘monstrous’ vegetation.
This will also be the final day to experience Bridie Gillman's solo exhibition 'Land marks', an exhibition developed in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (affectionately – Jogja). Each piece has been made in response to a patchwork of everyday observations – a fleeting moment while on a motorbike or a slower studied observation while waiting for a meal. Translated through colour, these seen things and places become landmarks through which the artist navigates around town.
Hugo Michell Gallery are proud to partner with Bird in Hand Winery for this finissage event.
Hugo Michell Gallery acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region, and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
