23 Jun 2012
Work by Stieg Persson is included in Theatre of the World, a group exhibition at the Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart. The exhibition is a collaboration between MONA and the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, with objects and artworks from both collections curated by Jean-Hubert Martin.
"Theatre of the World has, as its backbone, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery collection of Pacific barkcloths and Mona's collection of everything. Other sources are tapped when required to enhance the perceptual interplay, or on whim...In the theatre of the world art is a conveyor of dreams, a mobilizer of imagination, and a conduit for emotion. When we find beauty sometimes we need look no further."
