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
