Hayley Millar Baker in Shadow Spirit + Marc Chagall at The Jewish Museum
Listen now
Description
Gunditjmara artist Hayley Millar Baker sets her latest film work at the witching hour, when the spirit world and physical overlap. Hayley previously worked in black and white photography, exploring the psychic scars of frontier violence and dispossession. Ghosts have always been present in Hayley’s work – and in her life. She’s part of the acclaimed new exhibition Shadow Spirit, on at at Melbourne’s Flinders Street Station. Marc Chagall is the quintessential 20th Century European artist. Born into an orthodox Russian Jewish Family, Chagall found his way to Paris and became an Avant Garde artist with a romantic, humanist and deeply spiritual style all his own. Unusually, he ended up designing works for Christian churches. Chagall at the Jewish Museum of Australia looks at Chagall’s printmaking, poetry and public art commissions through a Jewish lens. Rosa speaks with curator Jade Niklai. Enter the studio of nipaluna/Hobart-based artist Catherine Woo, whose textural landscape paintings using natural minerals and elemental forces, show nature from a completely different perspective. First broadcast August 2022.
