Shadowlife is an exhibition of moving image works by six internationally renowned contemporary Indigenous Australian artists (and one non-Indigenous collaborator), curated by Djon Mundine OAM & Natalie King.
Presented as a looped screening with a contextual talk by curator Djon Mundine OAM, Shadowlife explores the notion of the shadow as a representation of our soul that can never leave or exist independent of the body.
The screening includes moving image works by Vernon Ah Kee, Bindi Cole, Destiny Deakin & Virginia Fraser, Fiona Foley, Ivan Sen and Christian Thompson.
The exhibition will be screened on a loop in Studio 1 from 10am to 6pm, pausing for the talk by Djon Mundine OAM from 3pm to 4pm.
Dates: Sat 11 Feb 2012, 11am-6pm
