Description
Showcases work of Melbourne-based contemporary artist Nina Sanadze, with a practice combining installation, sculpture and found objects.
The exhibition presents six sculpture and installation-based works which interrogate the meaning that statues carry, and the ways they reflect the values and priorities of the time and place in which they are erected or removed. The works on display reference Australia’s colonial monuments in order to explore and question the emotional resonance of public art.
Inspired by the public monuments in her childhood home of Tbilisi, Georgia, where Soviet icons replaced imperial statues, Sanadze’s work reveals that our cities, monuments and public artworks are constantly in flux, reflecting their contemporary moment.
