At 528 Hz, love is said to reach us through music.
Like the jazz standard interpreted, recorded and enriched (mainly) by numerous musicians (Fitzgerald, Sinatra, Baker), love too endures through art – contributing myth, nuance, and an evolution of form to the frequency (hopefully) of our spiritual connections.
‘A love’ can keep you making, generating. Expression manifested in clay, paint, and screen-based work, where the material and abstract meet.
My Funny Valentine, is a group show curated by Louise Klerks in collaboration with Arts Project Australia, showcasing an eclectic group of Australian and New Zealand artists engaged with love in all its forms: adoration, obsession, its pull – the maddening of it all.
