Join Bonita Ely for an Artist Talk with Marina Ely at Myer House, followed by a short walk to the Barn.

Presented as part of Bithry. Time., Bonita Ely’s exhibition at SECCA, this special event will include an overview of Bonita’s practice, along with insights into the collaborative work with her daughter Marina – a large-scale rubbing from the wooden block floor of the Barn, where they spent many summers.

The Barn is an experimental structure built in 1965 by Marina’s grandfather, renowned architect Roy Grounds. Located at Bithry Inlet on the far south coast of NSW, it was Grounds’s creative retreat while designing the National Gallery of Victoria and the Victorian Arts Centre.

Bonita Ely is a leading Australian artist known for her conceptual, environmental and socio-political art. Since the 1970s, she has been fascinated by science, communication, human impacts and the natural world. Her work is included in national and international collections such as the Museum of Modern Art New York, National Gallery of Australia, and Museum of Contemporary Art.
