NEW WORK BY

SANJA PAHOKI


23 June 2009 -

Photographs depicting the extremities of life in Reykjavik by Melbourne artist Sanja Pahoki are the next to feature at ACCA @ Mirka. In this series Pahoki explores the intensity of Iceland’s weather cycles and the beauty of its all-too rare winter daytime light.

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.
