Botanica Erotica: proposed exhibition at NT Library Mezzanine Gallery Monday Novemeber 26 start with launch Wednesday 28
GENERAL PROPOSAL: A collaborative exhibition between nine artists and the Northern Territory Library, that explores the erotic and sensual aspects of botanica. Almost every culture has a tradition of celebrating the erotic and sensual within the botanical world. Botanical forms have been used to symbolise gender, generative energy, fertility, love, lust, and sexual union. This symbolism is usually widely recognised within culture and is considered to be deeply significant. It is however also frequently linked to sly humour and irreverent laughter. The nine artsists proposed for this exhibition work across a wide range of media and processes and the concept of developing works that will be shown in collaboration with the library's resources is exciting. Proposed participants: Kaye Aldenhoven: poet David Collyer: composer and lace-maker Jackie Fleet: painter Tessa Pauling: porcellaine, ceramics Helen Peake: sculptural jewellery Bilha Smith: black-fired ceramics Lillian Smith: textile artist Geoff Sharples: sculptor Estelle Virgen: hand-made books, photography NT Library: works from the Library Collection David ion Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
