One of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks will transform into a nighttime wonderland of art, film, installations, lightscapes, performance, film and other interactive experiences through its latest exhibition, Interspecies and Other Others.
Interrogating elements of the human condition, relationships with nature, habitat and history, the exhibition will house multi-disciplinary works across its vast outdoor spaces, spanning its historic gardens, courtyards and the many nooks and crannies of the heritage grounds.
The nocturnal exhibition will display works from local and international artists including Abdul Abdullah, Megan Cope, Atlanta Eke and Lyndall Jones, Tony Albert, Yeo Siew Hua and Sarah-Jane Woulahan and curated by Kelli Alred. Alred describes the exhibition as an exploration of human “connectedness and the wondrous, beautiful complexity of our coexistence.”
Mark it in your diaries and wear your warmest coat, this is one not to be missed – especially because entry is free. Interspecies and Other Others is at Abbotsford Convent from August 26 to October 2.
