Past exhibitions

Adelaide International 2012: Restless
2 March - 5 April 2012
Gallery 1-3

This second Adelaide International includes the work of 18 artists and features five works that will premier in Adelaide, curated by Victoria Lynn for the 2012 Adelaide Festival.

The exhibition explores the restlessness of our times. The artists seek out threshold experiences and create works that convey an ongoing transition from one condition to another.

By exploring physical force fields, or by negotiating complex cultural sites, the artists create the sensation of being catapulted into the spaces between the extremities of the living ‘heavens’ and ‘hells’ in our contemporary era.

As a collaborator in this major international project, the Samstag Museum is proud to present the remarkable art of: Francis Alÿs (BEL/MEX), N.S. Harsha (IND), Annika Larsson (SWE)/ Augustin Maurs (FRA), Saskia Olde Wolbers (NED/UK), Lisa Reihana (NZ), Anri Sala (ALB/GER), Socratis Socratous (CYP), Nancy Spero (USA) and Danae Stratou (GRE)
