International artists explore the ghostly inhabitations of the ‘home’ in a new group show presented as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
A deluge of water floods from the windows of a gothic, Pennsylvanian house in David Haines and Joyce Hinterding’s House 2; a young women is lured menacingly by the ghost of herself in the film The Likening by David Noonan and Simon Trevaks; and former inhabitants of a German housing estate, once used to house Nazi construction workers and displaced persons in post-World War 2 Europe, discuss their former home in Michaela Melián’s Föhrenwald.
The Dwelling, curated by ACCA’s Artistic Director Juliana Engberg and organised by Hannah Mathews for MIAF 2009, brings together a series of spooky works from leading contemporary artists, each exploring the surreal, the haunted and the very strange.
