My Milonga, the Dance of the Heart

The Dance of the Heart is a series of complex and large scale photographic images inspired by the Tango. Using the Tango as a visual metaphor, the artists visually explore the intricate details of diversity in humanity as it negotiates relationships on the (re) imagined dance floor. The exhibition narrative is also about Australia embracing the changing face of its people; as we open ourselves to modern diversity. Gerard O'Connor and Marc Wasiak are an award winning team of dynamic artists. Gerard is a photographer and film maker and Marc is a wardrobe and set designer. For over 20 years they have made massive, complex tabloid work together and their imagery receives acclaim both in Australia and internationally. The Governor General of Australia has purchased four artworks by the artists for the Government House art collection in Canberra.
