Butterflown of love

Fernando Palma Rodriguez

Heide Museum of Modern Art

Thursday 07 August 2008 to Sunday 26 October 2008
Created for the Kerry Gardner & Andrew Myer Project Gallery, Butterflown of love is international artist-in-residence Fernando Palma Rodríguez’s offering to the landscape.

Inspired by his three-month residency at Heide, this installation addresses the artist’s concern for the preservation of Nahuatl, an indigenous language of his native Mexico. Redolent with personal and historic cultural meaning for Palma Rodríguez, this interactive work brings objects to life with a range of intriguing narratives.
