DOMENICO DE CLARIO

A SECOND SIMPLICITY
|
05 August - 25 September 2005
|
Renowned Australian artist Domenico de Clario will create a sculptural representation of the apartment building that housed his entire family prior to their migration to Australia from Italy in 1956, in a milestone exhibition in this prominent and prolific installation artist’s career. A Second Simplicity will feature a scale representation of the one bedroom apartment that was inhabited by de Clario, his parents, grandparents and his sister. The apartment will be lit by the seven spectrum colours, casting skeletal-like shadows from the building structure that surrounds it. A Second Simplicity will be a highpoint in the artists’ career, bringing together many of the forces and ideas that have shaped his immense and highly engaging practice over the past forty years. The exhibition will be a culmination of previous works focussing on family, narrative, dislocation and memory.
