Fiona Tan: Ascent at the Samstag Museum for OzAsia Festival
|
The Samstag Museum of Art brings a concise selection of works by Indonesian born, Australian raised, and Netherlands based Fiona Tan to Adelaide. Centring upon the Australian premiere of Ascent, this is the first significant presentation of the artist’s work in our country in ten years. Ascent is not only a reflection on Mount Fuji—a mountain of great significance to the Japanese—but also a study of its visual culture, and a tribute to the history of both photography and film.
