ACCA @ MIRKA
AT TOLARNO HOTEL

NEW WORK BY

LARESA KOSLOFF
|
From 3 June 2008
|
A new work in ACCA’s ongoing exhibition series at Mirka at Tolarno Hotel, sees Melbourne artist Laresa Kosloff extend her interest in the way the human body transforms itself in the pursuit of sport. Kosloff exhibits a new, multi-screen video work that features performers undertake various physical tasks in custom-made tracksuits – creating the illusion of weightlessness and levitation.
|
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.
