Celebrating the launch of Mordant Collection Highlights, a publication devoted to the collection of Simon and Catriona Mordant.
"We never set out to build a collection. What has driven us is a passion to be surrounded by creative people, whether in the visual or performing arts. We have only purchased a work when it evoked a reaction in us ... We have never bought a work for a particular wall or because someone told us the artist was important. We have loved this journey together."—Simon and Catriona Mordant
Featured in the highlights are these pieces by Dani Marti, Anne Zahalka, Janet Laurence and John Young.
DANI MARTI featured in Duty of Care exhibition at IMA Brisbane
Dani Marti's powerful work 'Notes for Bob' (2013) is featured in in the upcoming exhibition Duty of Care. Split across the Institute of Modern Art and the Griffith University Art Museum in Brisbane, this exhibition has been curated by Stephanie Berlangieri, Angela Goddard, and Robert Leonard.
"In curatorial practice—and in culture more broadly—‘care’ has become a buzzword, and is being used to reset policy and practice. However, too often, the complexity and troublesomeness of care are smoothed over by liberal good intentions."

Press for DANI MARTI 's exhibition 'Oh Canola!'
Fabulous press for DANI MARTI’S latest exhibition ‘Oh Canola!’ at Maitland Regional Art Gallery, which was mentioned in the Newcastle Herald.
The main gallery space at Maitland Regional Art Gallery has one big, long wall and Dani Marti has created one work to fill it. It's all yellow, and stretches more than 11 metres. Made of several panels, installed by Marti to flow seamlessly, the wall sculpture titled Oh Canola! is made of almost 10,000 circular reflectors, the kind used along roads, but customised in yellow.
