ACCA @ MIRKA
AT TOLARNO HOTEL
|
ACCA and Mirka at Tolarno Hotel have joined forces to bring contemporary art to the adventurous patrons of Melbourne's brightest new eatery. In a series of four 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 the most famous places in Melbourne, and seminal to the life and vigour of Melbourne's cultural and culinary history.

STUART RINGHOLT

February 21, 2007 - June 8, 2007
|
Stuart Ringholt’s altered portraits and mirror works recreate the effects of retinal lesions: a kind of blindness – yet re-vision. In these works he plays with perceptions and assumptions to create a double-take. His strategy is to destroy the ‘gestalt’ of an image which would otherwise be familiar, or even banal so that the viewer must refresh their apprehension of things.
Visitors welcome and encouraged.
Admission is free.
Open from 7.30am to midnight daily
