Opening Saturday 6 May from 3pm to 5pm, Let’s dance is inspired by a number of Arts Project Australia artists who have explored dance in its many forms, from the discipline of classical ballet to the free form of busting a move. The exhibition considers dance in a myriad of ways; as both a performance on stage and within the relative privacy of one’s bedroom; as social courtship; as part of sacred ritual and, on occasion, as a physical form of endurance or protest.
Curated by Charlotte Day, Director of Monash University Museum of Art, the exhibition features the work of Arts Project artists including Peter Ben, Valerio Ciccone, Boris Cipusev, Alan Constable, Leo Cussen, Patrick Francis, Brigid Hanrahan, Paul Hodges and Daniel Pace.
Let’s Dance will be opened by Charlotte Day and will also feature a selection of work by guest artists including Sarah Contos, Tony Schwensen, Angela Brennan, Cate Consandine, and nova Milne.
