HAVEN

HAVEN description

Please note: This event will now be held at North Eastern Concourse at the Adelaide Railway Station, rather than Samstag Museum of Art.

Tasmanian-born, Lisbon-based James Newitt has exhibited videos and installations nationally and internationally. Deeply researched and richly poetic, his new work, HAVEN, expands the artist’s inquiry into island utopias and conflicted situations of detachment and autonomy.

An expansive project incorporating moving image, objects, installation, sound, text and documentary material, HAVEN is informed by the real-life utopian ventures of speculative investors and pirate entrepreneurs, as well as people affected by a changing climate – those who are in search of new structures or forms for living.
