Dark #Mofo at Museum of New and Old Art #MONA inc. Marina Abramović #fomo [#geekgirl]
The Museum of Old and New Art’s (MONA) winter festival Dark Mofo (12—22 June 2015) attracts more than 120,000 people to Hobart, over 10 days each June, to celebrate the dark through large-scale public art, food, film, music, light and noise.
This year, in addition to an extended City of Hobart Dark Mofo Winter Feast, there is the new industrial harbourside festival precinct Dark Park packed with public art, a ‘late-night ceremonial death dance’ called Blacklist, a dark Nordic and Antipodean mix in the Dark Mofo Films program, a 72-hour ideas Hothouse in a large-scale temporary bamboo shelter at Salamanca, and much more.
To entice you further into the night, Mona offers its latest major exhibition, Private Archaeology by Marina Abramović (13 June—5 October).
Curated by Nicole Durling and Olivier Varenne, Private Archaeology explores how Abramović—the world’s most recognised performance artist—has refined her creativity over her 40-year career to focus on her ideology ‘the art of the immaterial’. The exhibition includes more than 40 works: sound pieces, videoworks, photographs, sculptures and interactive works which showcase Abramović’s early foundational work with former lover and collaborative partner Ulay, as well as more recent and solo work.
