Overview

If GOMA's Harvest has taught us anything, it's that food and art pair better than nutella and waffles. From Momento Mori to Vines of dogs eating icecream, we tend to react most strongly to images of the edible, and there's one artist whose been utilising this in his art for over 20 years. Franz Ehmann is an internationality renowned artist and master of installation, video and turning just about anything in the fridge into gallery-worthy craft.

Now, Ehmann is bringing his latest exhibition Many Things (it's a colourful world) to Spiro Grace Art Gallery. Displaying everyday objects in ways that simultaneously confront and resolve humanistic concerns, Ehman explores the meaning of the language, material and imagery we tend to take for granted. Unique theatrical language and metaphorical significance play core to the objects she uses in her unique translation of the everyday.
Many Things (it's a colourful world) shows from September 11 to 27.
