Description
Artist Louise Zhang uses a multi-hued palette and traditional Chinese symbols to explore the horror genre, spiritual beliefs and her own cultural history, on her own terms. Louise's latest exhibition is No dust left in the lilies. My Thing is… Frying Pan. The frying pan is a new recording studio built around an iconic mixing desk that once lived at Abbey Road Studios, London from 1958 to 1980. Now it has a permanent home at MONA in lutruwita/Tasmania. Chris Townend is the sound engineer behind it.Sundanese artist Zico Albaiquni paints in bright technicolour that speaks to both the politics of colour in Indonesia, and the Mooi Indie genre, where idealised landscapes were used by Dutch colonialists to ‘sell’ a version of Indonesia , minus its inhabitants.
