Walker Street Gallery will welcome winter and its longer nights with works from leading Australian artists.
There Are Tears At The Heart Of Things will showcase visual artists Janet Beckhouse, Fabrice Bigot, David Burrows, Irene Hanenbegh, Cyrus Tang and Felix Wilson.
The exhibition name comes from poem The Aeneid by second-century poet Virgil which starkly presents the human situation and contains the line: “There are tears at the heart of things, and men’s hearts are touched by what human beings have to bear.”
The exhibition will use video, photography, ceramics and sculpture to explore darkness, doubts and the incapacity of humans to avoid their fate.
Art critic Robert Nelson will open the display at 6.30pm on Thursday 2 June.
There’ll be a live music performance from post-rock group Fourteen Nights at Sea in the exhibition space at 2.30pm on Sunday 12 June.
Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre is on the corner of Walker and Robinson streets, Dandenong.
