CODED BLOOMS | Exhibition launch
About
CODED BLOOMS begins with the American artist Robert Mapplethorpe, whose photographs of flowers, borrowed from the National Gallery of Australia, provide a charged framework for the exhibition. New commissions by Pat Brassington, Del Kathryn Barton, Jake Preval and Meng-Yu Yan present a contemporary rereading of the floral. Pushing beyond polite still-life traditions into new, unruly terrain they explore the psychological, the sensual, the bodily and the relational.Join us to celebrate the launch of this beautiful and provocative exhibition that reveals flowers are not so innocent.
