QVMAG presents Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Spiders of Paradise

The City of Launceston is proud to invite you and your guest to the launch of QVMAG's latest exhibition, Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Spiders of Paradise, an exhibition developed and toured by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.

Working across sculpture, photography, installation, video and performance, her work examines the connections and tensions between society and the natural world.

They look forward to welcoming you to the Museum at Inveresk for this exhibition opening event.
