Mildura Palimpsest 9

ADFA Building, Mildura

Mildura Palimpsest is a biennial visual arts event that invites artists to engage with the cultural and natural environment of the Mildura and Murray Darling region. Mildura Palimpsest is dedicated to high quality, critically engaged contemporary art in all forms. We aim to provide opportunities for real dialogue between local, national and international artists, and across disciplines. Mildura Palimpsest #9 will be held October 4-7, 2013.

Mildura Palimpsest #9 has commissioned 45 new artworks from Australian and international artists all based on the natural and cultural environment of this region. It will also hold a Symposium focusing on similar developments internationally where art provides a catalyst for renewal and change in marginal and remote communities.

Mildura Palimpsest #9 will engage with the concept of ‘locality’ and encourage an active dialogue between global and local contexts. Palimpsest aims to provide opportunities for artists from all over the world to engage with regional Australia.
Located near the junction of the mighty Murray and Darling Rivers, on the border of three states and inland to Lake Mungo World Heritage site, Mildura is a powerful location with a formidable history of engagement with the arts. Hugging the rivers, vast blue horizons intersect with row upon row of vivid green citrus and vines ruled into the red desert sands.

‘Palimpsest’ means a parchment which has been partly erased and re-inscribed, it evokes the marks made by human settlement on the land, the passage of time, presence and absence, and the web of inter-dependence uniting the natural and the cultural, the material and the immaterial.

The project consists of 4 paintings that integrate multimedia contents accessible on the Internet through smartphones and tablets.
The works Seventh, A20 to MQL, and Murray, were painted observing Mildura with Google Street View. Mungo was inspired by a photo taken by Vivian Gerrand at Lake Mungo, a unique landmark in the study of human evolution on the Australian continent.

Visitors to the Mildura Murray Digital Lines exhibition can access the digital components of the paintings on their smartphones, framing them by using Layar.
Layar is a free augmented reality app, available for Android on Google Play, and for iPhone and iPad on App Store.
