Abstract
The first exhibition featuring ‘Vishaiku’, contemporary artist and Professor of Art Tim Brennan’s unique visual and poetry practice, is to open.
GALLIPOLI MIRROR – a poem-film collaboration with poet and author Heather H. Yeung, conceived as a mode of communication and protest in 2016 when the artists were living and working in New Zealand and Turkey. It takes as its material the Dardanelles campaign of WW1, the uncannily similar topographies of Tarakena Bay (NZ) and Canakkale/Anzac Bay (Turkey), the Ataturk Memorial and the Çanakkale Martyrs Memorial and George Gordon, Lord Byron's poem of 1816, 'Darkness'.
