𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙉 𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙀𝘼𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀𝙎: 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙇𝙊𝙐𝙄𝙎𝙀 𝙒𝙀𝘼𝙑𝙀𝙍 ❤️❤️⁣
Curated by @melissa_keys⁣
Opening 15 November 2019 at #BuxtonContemporary ⁣
⁣
Featuring fantastical creatures, iridescent other worlds, uncanny objects and unsettling organic forms 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴: 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘰𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳 explores the multidisciplinary practice of one of Australia’s most significant contemporary artists. ⁣
⁣
While Weaver is best known for her whimsical, thought-provoking sculptures of animals, #BetweenAppearances features more than 100 works in an array of media including sculptural installations, paintings, drawings, printmaking, collage, textiles, movement and sound. The exhibition spans three decades of the artist’s practice and reveals Weaver’s longstanding interests in fields as diverse as visual culture, art history, natural history, science and design. ⁣
⁣
Absorbed in particular by the dynamics and fragility of the natural world and environmental concerns, Weaver has a fascination with cycles of growth, metamorphosis and the intricacies of camouflage. Her work plays with these concepts and extends them into ideas surrounding artificiality and transformation, social themes and feminism, underpinned by the enduring power of mythology, make-believe and memory.⁣
⁣
Curated by Melissa Keys #Betweenappearances unfolds across all four of the galleries at Buxton Contemporary. It traces her gradual shift from early figurative forms and compositions through to abstract paintings, objects and sound environments, comprising an overview of Weaver’s richly imaginative, critical and compelling work from the early nineties through to the present.⁣
⁣
This exhibition is the second major monographic exhibition at #BuxtonContemporary celebrating a highly regarded artist represented in the Michael Buxton Collection at the University of Melbourne.⁣
⁣
@_louiseweaver ’s new work has been developed with the generous support of the Australia Council. The artist is represented by @darrenknightgallery Sydney. ⁣
