Moonah Arts Centre: The distance between pushing and pulling Selena de Carvalho

EXHIBITION OPENING THURS 15 NOV, 6PM
EXHIBITION RUNS 16 NOV – 22 DEC 2018
MOONAH ARTS CENTRE
23-27 ALBERT ROAD, MOONAH, TASMANIA

Over the past few years, Selena de Carvalho has journeyed between sites including nuclear reactors in India and France, melting glaciers in Iceland, and a Tasmanian cemetery that is home to an orchid – the last of its species.

Out in the field Selena has performed personal rituals, with the intension of working with ‘more than human’ witnesses to disturbance, developing documentation as well as composing physical samples as remnants of these ecological visits.

The artist invites you to witness this translation of experience, a creative response to acts and actions of pilgrimage or ‘reverse tourism’, at Moonah Arts Centre. The exhibition will develop over the course of five weeks and will grow to inhabit more gallery spaces, so you are also invited back on 15 December – as the work progresses so will the conversation…

Conversations with the Artist
1pm, Sat 15 Dec
Join Selena for Conversations with the Artist. This is a free, casual event where you can meet artists currently exhibiting at MAC and hear more about the stories and inspiration behind their work.
