NEW WORK BY

KATE DAW
|
3 March 2009 - 20 June 2009
|
Accomplished Melbourne-based artist Kate Daw will create eight new works focused on the art of dining out in a new exhibition at Mirka at Tolarno, curated by ACCA. Beautiful damask restaurant napery will become Daw’s canvas as she creates five new text-based works. In addition, three full-colour photographic silk-screens will play with physical aspects of the restaurant environment – menus, table-settings and interior design.
|
ACCA and Mirka at Tolarno Hotel have joined forces to bring contemporary art to the adventurous patrons of Melbourne's brightest new restaurant. In a series of four annual exhibitions which are set to change with the seasons ACCA will give four young Australian artists a unique chance to show their work in this exciting new satellite venue.
The Tolarno Hotel has always had a tradition of food and art. In the 1960s Georges Mora, restaurateur, gallery owner and curator, and his wife Mirka made the bistro and gallery one of Melbourne’s best loved cultural and culinary icons.
