Exhibition: Tree Changes 2: New Development Opportunities

Tree Changes 2: New Development Opportunities is an exhibition by Merric Brettle, a former Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship student. This exhibition explores our relationship to a constructed urban habitat - it considers our relationship to a landscape that is the manifestation of our hopes and dreams, yet one that expresses them degraded or destroyed.

The questions that these works ask the viewer to contemplate are 'What is the nature of our utopian dreams?' 'What are the social processes that always seem to see them dashed?' and subsequently 'What should we do with this self knowledge?'

When: Monday 2 September – Thursday 31 October 2024
9am-1pm, 2-5pm (Closed 1pm-2pm)

Where: Consulate-General of Japan in Melbourne
Level 25, 570 Bourke Street, Melbourne 3000



 

Exhibition: Misty Mountain, Shining Moon: Japanese landscape envisioned

Also on display at the exhibition until 6 August is the artwork titled ‘Nihon no Inori’ (Prayers of Japan), donated to the Consulate-General of Japan in Melbourne by the Japanese painting (Nihonga) Mr HIRAMATSU Reiji!
