Legends
Obsessions with the incomprehensible and the uncanny

Curated by Maria-Luisa Marino

11 August – 7 October

Legends embodies the obsessions we have with the incomprehensible and the uncanny. It presents portals into the absurd, places that have elements of the familiar yet are uncomfortably strange in atmosphere and comprehension. Artists Belle Bassin, Bill Moseley, Catherine Nelson and Lorene Taurerewa tackle the intrigue of the unknown. Through their work the artists reveal worlds that are exotic and captivating with fascinating characters, dreamlike creatures and sublime landscape anchored by mythology, spiritualism, symbolism and science fiction.

Five drawings from the solo show Lorene Taurerewa Company of Fools exhibition 2011 will be exhibited in this small group show.
