Behind the scenes at the museum

Sydney-based contemporary artist Silke Raetze is the first artist to have had works shown as part of an exhibition at the Australian Museum as the result of a three-month artist in residency, spent delving into their extensive collections of exotic Birds of Paradise specimens.  Silke will discuss her practice and the works in the exhibition at the Australian Museum as part of their Jurassic Lounge late night openings on Tuesday 12th April. This series of work will also be exhibited in a solo exhibition at Michael Reid at Elizabeth Bay from 2 August until 3 September 2011.
