The opening weekend of the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art ( February 28 ) promises to launch an exhibition that will do its own small part to capture the zeitgeist of Australian contemporary art today.
It will also be “an exhibition that connects with the viewer and provides a moving experience, one that is emotional and immersive.” says Nick Mitzevich, curator of the 2014 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art and Director of the Gallery of South Australia.

Dark Heart is also admittedly populist; setting out to “probe the personal, the political and the psychological elements of the stories of Australian culture today.” Mitzevich says he also wants Dark Heart to be about storytelling and the history of those stories, sourced directly from the time and culture they have been created; now. Like Melbourne Now, currently at the NGV in Melbourne, which attempts to sum up the current zeitgeist of Melbourne’s contemporary art culture, The 2014 Adelaide Biennial will attempt the same, in more concise and focussed manner with just 28 artists.

Julia deVille’ s Adelaide Biennial installation, Phantasmagoria, evokes a child’s bedroom from the Victorian age, in a menagerie featuring her signature taxidermy of ethically-sourced animals, including kittens, fawns, piglets and bunnies. Ms. deVille brings an obsessive yet beautiful aesthetic to her work, influenced by the Victorian custom of adorning death. Her work is very much about mortality, creating a somber tone of self-reflection for all of us.

Julia deVille is famous for her taxidermy works and at Adelaide Biennial will even present her techniques in a workshop.
