Brunswick Street Gallery, with the support of Yarra City Council, is excited to launch our Ground Floor Gallery Project —- a dedicated exhibition space to showcase the work of emerging artists based across Australia. Focusing on inclusion and promotion of artists from marginalised communities, we will be working with local artists, local arts organisations and remote national Indigenous Art Centres.
Activating our ground level exhibition space — Ground Floor Gallery — we are excited to curate and facilitate an exciting, diverse exhibition program within a contemporary inner-city environment, connecting our Ground Floor artists with new audiences, emerging and established collectors, and extending their art networks. Equally, the artistic contributions of our exhibitors will work to create a more enriched and diverse local Yarra art scene.
corben mudjandi, self-metaphor: Corban Mudjandi
17 november – 21 december 2022
Brunswick Street Gallery and Marrawaddi Arts & Culture are delighted to bring the work of Corben Mudjandi to our Ground Floor Gallery space, in his debut solo exhibition Corben Mudjandi, Self-Metaphor.
Corben Mudjandi, a Traditional Owner of Mirarr Country in Kakadu National Park is an emerging analogue photographer.
Corben, who is typically familiar with taking candid photos of family, friends and landscapes out bush, presents this series as an exploration of self in unfamiliar urban settings, through his first time on Wurundjeri Country unaccompanied.
“MY INTEREST IN DARK AREAS WITH HIGHLIGHTS REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS. IF YOU LOOK AT A DARK AREA WITH A STREET SHINING DOWN, IT INTRIGUES ME. WALKING THROUGH A SMALL TOWN WITH LESS PEOPLE HAS AN EMPTINESS WHICH IS WEIRDLY INTERESTING TO ME.”
- CORBEN MUDJANDI, 2022.
Corben Mudjandi, Self-Metaphor is proudly held as part of Brunswick Street Gallery’s Ground Floor Gallery Proiect, proudly supported by City of Yarra.
