SCHEME 5 GARDEN
Liliana Barbieri, Susan Knight, Sarina Lirosi, Trevor Mein, Wilma Tabacco
5 October - 22 October 2017
Opening Celebration - Sat 7 October 3-5 pm
Gallery Viewing - Thurs to Sun 11-4 pm
The history of art is redolent with examples of gardens as places for
inspiration and as subject matter for art itself. Think Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh.
This exhibition is part of an ongoing series of collaborative projects that
commenced in 2005 and in this instance the artists have considered the
continued importance of the garden within the built environment.
Gardens and backyard sheds have been long established features of
Melbourne’s domestic architecture. However, with the continued proliferation
of high-rise apartment dwellings in both the inner city and outer suburbs
Melbourne is at risk of becoming less verdant. Charming old gardens and
sheds are being demolished at a furious rate to make way for new
developments and car spaces.
In ‘Scheme 5 Garden’ the individual artists have responded to the nature of
the garden as a site/sight for reflection and creativity.
