Art of Peace at AGWA

The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) presents Art of Peace: Art After War, a thought-provoking exhibition featuring nine artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda and Timor-Leste who have created artworks shaped by living amongst the aftermath of war and conflict.

In the last thirty years, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste each emerged from different versions of social and human destruction, from the genocide of hundreds of thousands of people. Understandably, the peace following war can often be hard work, and life in a post-conflict society is very different in each of these countries.

Revivification

ART AND SCIENCE INTERSECT

IN A WORLD FIRST AT AGWA

The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) will showcase an extraordinary immersive exhibition combining sound and cutting-edge biological innovation to bring to life the musical genius of a deceased composer.

Four years in the making, Revivification delivers a historic first: the in-vitro (external) ‘brain’ of the late composer Alvin Lucier (1931-2021) creating a new work in real time, as a live performance over the duration of the exhibition.
