Aldo Iacobelli’s ‘A Conversation with Jheronimus’ brings Hieronymus Bosch’s iconic The Haywain Triptych (c.1512-1516) – a panel painting symbolising careless humans indulging their follies and lust on the path to hell – into a contemporary context. Borrowing Bosch’s eternal allegory of religion, politics and sin, Iacobelli explores humanity’s ongoing struggle for a moral safe ground particularly in response to Australia’s immigration policy and the indefinite detention of asylum seekers. The exhibition comprises a range of objects: installation, drawings, sculpture, and paintings.
