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.
