murr-ma* Entdecken Sie die Kunst der Aborigines & australische zeitgenössische Kunst * durch das Wasser laufen und dabei mit den Füssen suchen
Die Michael Reid at Elizabeth Bay Kunstgalerie wird Murr-ma in Berlin im September & Oktober 2012 präsentieren. Murr-ma, dies ist eine herausragende Ausstellung von Arbeiten der zur Zeit meist beachtesten und aufstrebenden aborigine und australischen Künstlern. Das Thema von Murr-ma – “sanftes Gefühl des Suchens nach Muscheln mit den Füssen im niedrigen Wasser von Strömen und Flüssen” – spiegelt die visuelle Behandlung der Themen der australischen zeitgenössischen Kunst wider. Die Künstler interpretieren Stamm und Individualität mittels einer Vielzahl von Techniken – vom traditionellen Ölgemälde bis hin zu Skulpturen und Fotografie – und bieten unterschiedliche Darstellungen des Landes als Topografie, Symbol des nationalen Charakters sowie als Teil der Kosmologie eines Volkes. Über die Ausstellung hinaus werden ausgewählte Kunstwerke auch auf der Kunstmesse Preview Berlin Mitte September präsentiert werden.
murr-ma* Uncovering Aboriginal & Australian Contemporary Art * to walk through water searching with your feet
In Berlin throughout September & October the Sydney gallery Michael Reid at Elizabeth Bay will be holding Murr-ma, a significant exhibition of work by some of today’s most important established and emerging Aboriginal and Australian artists. The Theme of Murr-ma - ‘gently feeling the way with one’s feet to search for shellfish at low tide in streams and mud flats’ - reflects the exhibition’s visual discussion of the concerns of Australian contemporary art. Through a variety of techniques - from traditional oil painting to sculpture and photography - the artists offer interpretations of clan and individual identity and different depictions of the Land as topography, a symbol of national character and part of the cosmology of a people. In addition to the exhibition, the gallery will also be attending the art fair Preview Berlin, held in mid September.
