DANI MARTI
Congratulations to DANI MARTI who has just received a grant from Creative Scotland towards professional development.
DANI MARTI will also be exhibiting in Let the Healing Begin (5 March - 30 April) at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane.
The idea that art makes us better people, that it heals our souls, is an anathema. In the art world, ‘art therapy’ is the butt of endless jokes. Nevertheless, contemporary art is riddled with therapeutic subtexts and strategies. Let the Healing Begin features works that address therapy. Some of the works endorse therapeutic imperatives, some satirise them, others are undecided. The line-up is a mix of local and international artists.

DANI MARTI will also be exhibiting at in Highly Strung Peter Potter Gallery, Haddington Scotland. Curated by Arabella Harvey, with Angus Mcphee and LIsa Bach.

What can self-portraits tell us about the human mind, body and identity? One of the liveliest current debates concerns the nature of human consciousness. How do we acquire and maintain individual identity? How is art subject to memory, emotion, historical and cultural circumstance? Does art expand the mind and can our neurological structures change?
