“An exhibition of moving image, performance, painting and object-based works by contemporary Australian artists which together create a spatio-temporal and visually immersive environment. The fanciful leitmotif of ‘dancing umbrellas’, inspired by a two-channel video installation by young Melbourne artist Belle Bassin, introduces the exhibition’s performative and theatrical theme, and the playful surreality of many works. Movement, light and elements of performance are variously utilised by the artists to explore ideas about perception and time, and to evoke a sense of otherworldliness or dreams.”

Over the Anzac Weekend I went to the Dancing Umbrellas exhibition at the Heide Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition consisted of various artists who all used different material forms and mediums to convey conceptual ideas personal to them. It was a really interesting exhibition to move through as it was a small and intimate space that held a variety of work. Featured are my favourite works.
