An assemblage of contemporary Australian visual artworks engaged with music, sound and voice.
Curator: Victoria Lynn
The TarraWarra Biennial was inaugurated in 2006 as a signature
exhibition to identify new developments in contemporary art practice.
The first
Biennial Parallel Lives: Australian Painting Today was held in 2006. The second Biennial,
Lost & Found, An Archeology of the Present, was held in 2008. Both exhibitions were opened to coincide with the Melbourne Art Fair.
The TarraWarra Museum of Art will present the third iteration of its Biennial from 5 August to 9 December 2012. Entitled
Sonic Spheres
the exhibition presents an assemblage of artists who are engaged with
sound, music, voice and performance. The exhibition will include
drawings, musical scores, sculptures made from musical instruments,
paintings and video. These works invite us to listen to art, to find new
sounds and melodies. Many of the artists will perform live with their
art works during the opening weekend of the exhibition.
This year, the biennial will include the work of 20 artists and one
collaborative group: Robyn Backen, Lauren Brincat, Eugene Carchesio, The
Donkey’s Tail, Marco Fusinato, Nathan Gray, David Haines & Joyce
Hinterding (collaboration), Ross Manning, Dylan Martorell, Victor
Meertens, Angelica Mesiti, Yukultji Napangati, James Newitt, Tom
Nicholson with Andrew Byrne (collaboration), John Nixon, Sandra Selig,
Christian Thompson, Ray James Tjangala and Johnny Yungut Tjupurrula.
