Marion Borgelt’s ‘Lunar Arc: Gold Eclipse No. 2’ will feature in the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory’s newest exhibition ‘Between the Moon and the Stars’, which opens TONIGHT at 7PM. This exhibition brings together science and art to reveal the influence of the stars, the moon and its phases on human cultures and animal life.
‘Between the Moon and the Stars’ is an intriguing showcase that includes a lunar meteorite, ancient Aboriginal astronomical knowledge, the history of stargazing in Australia, and memorable artworks that explore the moon’s primeval pull. The exhibition will be opened this evening by keynote speaker astrophysicist Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith and a space-themed performance by an ensemble from the Darwin Symphony Orchestra. ‘Between the Moon and the Stars’ will continue until 29 March 2020.
