Experience Mia Salsjö’s artistic practice that melds music notation, architectural drawing, storytelling and history to take on new visual and sonic art forms.
Students will be shown the techniques Mia uses in the creation of her work. Under Mia’s guidance, students will collectively create a new work of art from pre-prepared (marked-up) architectural drawings.
The group will work together on one large-scale piece made up of many smaller sections. Students can contribute to one or several sections of the overall work.
Minimal or no musical training required.
Mia Salsjö creates multidisciplinary art projects that investigate architectural forms and systems.
Her works have been included in major international exhibitions including Construction of the Possible, the 13th Havanna Biennial, Havana (2019). In 2022, Salsjö was commissioned by Fed Square and the NGV to compose A Score for Fed Square (2022), which was performed by musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
Salsjö holds a Master of Fine Art (First Class) from the Victorian College of the Arts and is a resident artist at Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne.
