ACCA @ MIRKA
AT TOLARNO HOTEL
|
Kate Daw
|
From 3 March - 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 @ MIRKA is a collaboration between the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and Mirka at Tolarno Hotel, presented by Sanpellegrino.
ACCA will curate four projects by emerging Australian artists each year, continuing the tradition of bringing great contemporary art to this unique and historic restaurant space.

Mirka at Tolarno Hotel

With the opening of Mirka at Tolarno Hotel Guy Grossi returns to the original kitchen in which he first started cooking the ‘sofrito’ with his father and Mirka Mora restores the joyous murals she painted in the main dinning room during the 60s. An amazing piece of Melbourne’s cultural and culinary history has come full circle launching an exciting new chapter in the life of a Melbourne icon.
