Eco v Ego - opening night

09 May 2024 - by

It was a spectacular opening night for “Eco v Ego: the footprint of our consumerism” by Anatoly Golobokov, which will be exhibited in the Chapel until 18 May. The night featured speeches by Anatoly, his daughter Katya, Clive Hamilton and Garth Heron from Stromlo Energy. There was also a mesmerising performance by renowned cellist David Pereira composed especially for the occasion, as well as a digital media display featuring Anatoly’s artwork.

The exhibition itself is not only visually stunning, but throws light on the way our consumerism impacts the planet. The artworks themselves are made using upcycling, refashioning old goods into impressive works of art. Quotes and descriptions around the walls remind us of the various ways we are damaging our earthly home.
