Memoria, platea at M16
If you love a good opening party, one of your stops on the After Dark ride should definitely be the opening of this beautiful new exhibition at M16. Six very different artists from very distinct cultural backgrounds – Tiff Brown, Sarit Cohen, Mark Mohell, Macdonald Nichols, Peter Ranyard and Peter Rohen – use their different media to "investigate themes of place, memory, identity, travel, nostalgia and diaspora. Using ceramics, painting and photography, each artist, with their own methodology, but all with a similar visual and conceptual frame, come together for this exhibition to present a contemporary artist's urban existence." As a collective, they say, "One of our deepest needs is for a sense of identity, belonging and to feel, somehow, immersed in a chosen place". Memoria, platea (latin: memory, place) opens November 11 at M16 Artspace, 21 Blaxland Crescent, Griffith, and runs until November 27.
