MATTHEW GREAVES
Honesty
16 Nov 2016—19 Nov 2016
“The idea that truth is concealed and even perverted by the processes that are meant to establish it makes excellent sense”
—Paul Feyerabend
In the former location of the Communist Party of Australia Offices (TCB Art Inc.), Matthew Greaves presents a three-day long exhibition project across both galleries. The new works elaborate the magical and spiritualistic entanglements of Melbourne’s early anarchist-communist movements, and explore the ways in which mysticism enhances knowledge and politics.
Limited-edition catalogue printed by Dawn Press; and,
Séance with David A. Andrade, Frm. Hon. Sec. Melbourne Anarchist Club:
2–3pm Thursday 17th November
Places limited, RSVP +61 452 006 026
This project is the outcome of a State Library Victoria Fellowship.
