GREAT MOVEMENTS OF FEELING
05 December 2020 to 14 February 2021
Gallery 1 & 2
Great Movements of Feeling is a multi-disciplinary project that explores emotion as a cognitive and bodily force. The exhibition considers emotion through personal and historical lenses; as a flowing drive that occurs between people, concepts and objects.
This structure brings together the two historical ‘camps’ of emotion theory: emotion as primarily tied to bodily sensations, and emotion as thought. The works in this exhibition inhabit facets of emotion congealing at different points on this spectrum: sometimes weighted towards a bodily sensation, at other times towards a cognitive judgment, or somewhere in between.
Featuring artwork by Megan Cope (Quandamooka), Helen Grogan (Australia), Nik Pantazopoulos (Australia), Stuart Ringholt (Australia), Sriwhana Spong (New Zealand /United Kingdom) and Sue Williamson (South Africa), Anne Hand (Australia), Pauline Delaney (Australia), Tim Bučković (Australia). In these works, there is a sense of historical weight threading through: the inheritance of trauma, of love, of the passing down of feeling.
A NETS Victoria touring exhibition, curated by Zara Sigglekow. Great Movements of Feeling is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
Great Movements of Feeling is presented by Latrobe Regional Gallery in partnership with National Exhibitions Touring Support (NETS) Victoria.
