In Coming Home, Amsterdam-based artist Fiona Tan will present for the first time in Australia Disorient (2009), an audiovisual installation conceived especially for the 53rd Venice Biennale. Disorient will be on view at the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and to complement the concept of home and peripatetic homelessness, a second work, A Lapse of Memory (2007) which completes this exhibition project will be shown at the NAS Gallery. Using expanded film and video installations, Tan’s skillfully crafted, moving and intensely human works explore history and time and our place within them.

Norman McLaren (1914 - 1987) was one of the pioneers of experimental cinema and animation. Based in Canada, his innovative and creative approach to filmmaking made him one of the most respected and critically acclaimed filmmakers of the 20th Century. His fascination with the abstract stemmed from visions of images he experienced as he listened to music. From this synthesis of image and sound he developed a direct drawing to film process and the cinematic genre of visual music. A selection of works from 1940s - 1970s will be on view.
