The artists featured in the exhibition Love, Displaced cover a variety of video art genres. They range from Richard Lewer’s hand drawn animations with simple narrated dialogue in his artwork Never Shall Be Forgotten - A Mother’s Story (2017), to the opulent cacophony of collaged photography, video, intense sound tracks and computer-generated imagery evident in Inverso Mundus (2015) by AES+F.

In this professional development workshop, visual art educator Erin Knight introduces the education kit for Love, Displaced, exploring how video media has been manipulated by artists in deeply personal ways that assist in communicating with their audiences. This workshop prepares you to bring your students to view the exhibition and experience a close reading exercise using the education resources.

Love, Displaced

9 February - 11 May 2019

In this century, feelings of love and empathy are often filtered through social media platforms and 24-hour news cycles. In Love, Displaced, film- based and video art offers new and innovative modes of navigating the white noise of contemporary life towards places of re-sensitisation and emotional engagement.

Curated by Felicity Fenner, the exhibition brings together some of the world’s leading contemporary artists: Jacobus Capone, Richard Lewer (NZ), Tracey Moffatt and Gary Hillberg, Christian Thompson; AES+F (Russia), Jeremy Deller and Cecilia Bengolea (UK, Argentina/France), Roee Rosen (Israel). Three of the Australian artists have specific links to WA, either their birthplace or the subject of works presented.

A Perth Festival exhibition supported by Visual Arts Program Partner Wesfarmers Arts.
