Nexus Gallery Announces Stronghold Exhibition Opening April 8th
A new solo exhibition opening at Nexus Gallery April 8 addresses the experience of cultural memory and loss in relation to basic human belonging.
The loss of cultural and emotional attachment to a familiar ‘home-ground', strongly informs the work of Dutch-born, Adelaide-based artist Dr Irmina van Niele in her new solo exhibition, Stronghold.
Van Niele, a lecturer in Textiles and tutor in Art History and Theory at the South Australian School of Art, Architecture and Design at UniSA, uses projected computer-generated drawings and found materials to reference childhood memories of left-behind worlds that are often fragmentary and incoherent, yet contained and sustained in dreams or imagination.
The exhibition will open on Thursday April 8 from 6 to 8pm with special guest speaker Mary Knights, the Director of SASA Gallery. An Artist's Talk will be held Thursday May 6 at 12pm.
Stronghold will be at Nexus Gallery until 14 May.
