Abstract

A Macquarie University Art Gallery exhibition.
Venue: Macquarie University Art Gallery.
Dates: 16 May – 30 June 2023.

In the post-pandemic environment, many of us are considering or reconsidering where we live, how we connect with community and how a spiritual life can be renewed. This exhibition explores the manifestations of what 'spirit of place encapsulates in aesthetics and material content using both the University's permanent collection and invited artists. Spirit of Place presents works that allude to the transcendental qualities in their formulation of light, space and form.
An exhibition that will penetrate the senses to the glory of the spiritual realm in relation to place, site and markers within the landscape.

Featured artists are:
Effy Alexakis, Judy Cassab, Mark Davis, Blak Douglas, Joel Blenberg, Donald Laycock, Kaye Mahoney, Teena McCarthy, Alexander McKenzie, Tracey Moffatt, Ginger Riley Munduwalwala, Enos Namatjira Naata Nungurrayl, Miguel Olmo, Gabreille Pool, Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula, Telly Tưu, John R Walker, Yannima Tommy Watson, Anthony White and Fred Williams.
