Leviathanic Allusion, a solo exhibition by Natasha van Netten at the fifty fifty arts collective, January 10 – January 25, 2019.
The Leviathanic Allusion exhibition is inspired by natural history displays, informational books, charts, graphs and specimens. The title comes from Herman Melville’s novel Mody Dick. It is the suggestion of something greater: as a spout on the ocean hints at something much larger below, so the work in this exhibition alludes to an underlying layer of meaning.
