You
Are Here

Gallery One
Anne Ferran, New South Wales
Exhibition & Artist Book
To be officially launched by George Alexander
[Education Officer for Contemporary Art - Art
Gallery of New South Wales]
'You Are Here' reflects upon the fact that both the
celebrated critic and he writer, Walter Benjamin
and the new Zealand novelist and poet, Janet Frame
spent time on the Spanish holiday island of Ibiza.
Each had their own compelling reasons to be there.
In the thirties Benjamin found temporary refuge
there from Nazi persecution. Later, in 1956, Frame
went there to escape the control of 'modern'
psychiatry. Both were, in the artist's words,
"swept through in the twentieth-century current of
travel, displacement and exile".
Anne Ferran's book takes the form of a concertina
of images which describes a journey across the
island from St Antonio (where Benjamin was based)
to Ibiza City, home to Frame. The exhibition
includes images from the book and an accompanying
video work.
