‘All that is solid…’ is the third iteration of ‘TarraWarra International’. Artists Didem Erk (Turkey), Cao Fei (China), Tom Nicholson, Patrick Pound and Cyrus Tang (Australia) present perspectives on social change, conflict, and altered political and urban landscapes, prompted by events marked through history and the present. “Viewers will encounter sewn books, robotic vacuum cleaners, cremated encyclopaedias, charcoal, ash, porcelain, and images of changing architectural and natural environments – some in a state of ruin – presented on video and in photography”, says curator Victoria Lynn.
