Theatre of the World

Date: June 23rd
Until: July 8th

June Saturday 23rd

Theatre of the World engages, and rejects, the widely held notion that ancient and contemporary works of art are inherently different, and that we must burden the past with the weight of history.

This art is visual poetry. Theatre of the World has, as its backbone, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery collection of Pacific barkcloths and MONA’s collection of everything.  In the theatre of the world art is a conveyor of dreams, a mobiliser of imagination, and a conduit for emotion. When we find beauty sometimes we need look no further. Curated by Jean-Hubert Martin with co-curators Tijs Visser, Nicole Durling, Olivier Varenne and the MONA and TMAG teams.
