ART AFTER DARK
Initiation OA_RR, Reko Rennie

Bunjil Place Outdoor Screen
3 July – 30 July
5.00 pm - 7.00 pm (daily)
 

In July our Art After Dark program continues on the Outdoor Screen with Initiation OA_RR by Reko Rennie.

Initiation OA_RR was originally commissioned for the Melbourne Arts festival RISING and is a follow-up to Rennie’s 2016 work OA_RR.

“The work is a road trip going back to the suburb of my birth and relates to my experiences growing up in the 1970s and 80s working class western suburbs of inner Melbourne. I was born in an urban environment where traditional notions of initiation, were experienced in a completely different way to my ancestral home of the Kamilaroi/Gamilaroi people of North Western NSW.”

The video artwork is accompanied by a commissioned operatic score from Yorta Yorta woman, composer and soprano, Deborah Cheetham AO and performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
