Marfa Gallery

Marfa Gallery Marfa Gallery is an artist run contemporary cultural arts space. An advocate for the freedom of artistic expression.

Founded in 2015, Marfa Gallery is an artist run organisation and a dynamic, contemporary cultural arts space where varied perspectives and issues are explored through visual arts, film, music, and performance. The gallery is housed in a converted clear span print factory that dates to the 1970's and is a unique venue found in the heart of Abbotsford, Melbourne. As an advocate for the freedom of a

rtistic expression, Marfa’s mission is to serve international, national, regional, and local arts communities and support the work of both emerging and recognised artists working in all media. With an option between a fortnightly and three week program of exhibitions on a gallery floor space of approximately 200m2, Marfa Gallery is particularly interested in helping artists and curators achieve projects that have significant cultural impact but would be more difficult to realise in a traditional gallery or museum setting.

NEGATIVE CAPABILITY

An immersive journey into a fictional landscape, curated by Veils of Cirrus.

‘Negative Capability’ explores a parallel plane of senses, grappling with tensions between transience and mortality, permanence and change, romantic ideals and reality. This group installation, showcasing the work of twelve cross-disciplinary local creatives, will be presented from the 23rd - 25th of April 2021. Each participating artist has responded to the same prompt: Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats and his concept of 'Negative Capability'. Using their chosen medium, they will present their interpretation of this theme within five sensory spaces exploring textile, scent, sound, light, visual art, object, moving image and spatial architecture. Visitors will be encouraged to journey through each landscape and physically interact with their surroundings.

Allow this world to permeate your being, bleed into your psyche and transcend you into an altered perception of reality.

Door Tickets $15 - $20 (refreshments provided)

OPENING NIGHT: Friday 23rd of April 5pm - 10pm

CLOSES: Sunday 25th of April
