An art exhibition opening in Woodend tomorrow is likely to shift perceptions of everyday objects and materials.
Revive will showcase 15 artists and what they have created from discarded and unwanted bits and pieces.
It is being held in association with the Sustainable Living Festival this Saturday in Woodend and curator, Caite Farrugia, says the fresh and contemporary exhibition will portray how art can shape a future of sustainability.
"Revive is about deepening the relationship between contemporary art and the notions of environmental sustainability. It will also engage the viewer to enjoy, explore and be educated. We believe that the artists involved will inspire, communicate and educate our viewers about the morals of sustainable art," Caite says.
The exhibiting artists represent diverse creative fields including sculpture, interior design, fashion, furniture, jewellery, wall art, film, novelty giftware and architecture.
Woodend Wine Store is also embracing the sustainability theme, with a guest winemaker from an award-winning biodynamic vineyard.
Gille Lapalus, head winemaker at Sutton Grange Winery, uses only biodynamic preparations for pests and diseases, and removes weeds by machine. Influenced by European practices, his wines are made with minimal intervention. He avoids adding chemicals, and only uses natural yeasts and tank water.
Revive opens at Bakery Lane Gallery, 42b Anslow Street, Woodend on February 9 and runs until February 24. The gallery is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. A gold coin donation to assist Woodend Ambulance is being asked of visitors to the exhibition. Black Anther Gallery, located on the same site at rear, will also feature pieces from the exhibition as well as an exhibition of sustainable textile designs. Details: Caite 0413 764 234.
