My Funny Valentine

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.
