Exhibition Opening: Robert Andrew, ‘Presence’
August 31, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for the opening of ‘Presence’, a solo exhibition by Brisbane-based First Nations artist Robert Andrew at IMA Belltower.
Andrew expands on his kinetic installation practice to create a new physical landscape that combines programmable technological machinery with string, earth pigments, ochres, rocks, and soil. This work will change throughout the exhibition’s duration, creating a residue and revealing an internal core that references Aboriginal histories, stories, and connections. A deep sense of time and continuity is expressed in the work’s movement, invoking cycles enacted to and within the land.
The exhibition at IMA Belltower is accompanied by a new projection work developed in collaboration with Sai Karlen for the façade of the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts.
The exhibition opening will begin with a Welcome to Country at 5.30pm.
