We’ve let the place run wild. We’ve cut up the mattresses, burnt out the light globes and remixed the old records but shhh – Don’t tell Nanna!
Join the artists for opening night drinks on Wednesday 28 July, 6-8pm, and discover a space that puts a sassy, contemporary spin on the old saying ‘Home Sweet Home.’
A space for nostalgia, introspection and rebellion. Where objects past their use-by-date are re-imagined, unleashing hallucinatory alter-egos. Where erotic literature and traditional crafts are intertwined. A space in which generational attitudes and stereotypes relating to gender, femininity and domesticity are challenged.
Artworks act as evidence of controversial and confronting acts, questioning established perspectives. Extending beyond the realm of a physical relative, information considered subversive could also be concealed from institutions and individuals representative of ‘Nanna’. Who is protecting who when it comes to secrecy? Have you ever done something you didn’t want to tell Nanna about?
Working together at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney inspired emerging female artists- Ella Condon, Bridie Connell, Sarah Contos, Micaela Giffney, Leahlani Johnson, Bernadette Jones and Nicola Walkerden to collaborate. Let photographic, assemblage, installation, sculptural, textile, video and 2-D works take you on a journey of revelations. After all, what Nanna doesn’t know can’t hurt her… or can it?
Your ticket to ride is only available between 28 July- 25 August 2010 at Horus & Deloris gallery- Sydney, Australia.
