This summer, the NGV is seeking your support to help us add Kosovan artist, Petrit Halilaj’s extraordinary work, Very volcanic over this green feather to the Gallery’s Collection.
Drawing upon his lived experience of war and displacement, this powerful installation is inspired from Halilaj’s own childhood drawings, made in the Kukës II refugee camp in Albania during the height of the Kosovan War. Depicting interspersing visuals of rural landscapes, animals, birds and scenes of destruction, the installation reveals the slippery relationship between the real and the imagined, personal and collective memory, and recorded history and lived experience.
Audiences can view Very volcanic over this green feather as part of the NGV Triennial 2023, on display at NGV International until 7 April 2024.
We warmly invite you to support the 2024 NGV Summer Appeal and bring Petrit Halilaj’s incredible installation into the NGV Collection. We are truly grateful for donations of any size to make this acquisition possible, and we thank you for your support in enabling us to realise this wonderful opportunity.
If you would like further information about supporting this acquisition, learn more here, or contact the NGV Foundation team on (+61 3) 8620 2415 or ngv.foundation@ngv.vic.gov.au.
