NoteWorthy (Exhibition)
Solo Exhibition
PG GALLERY FITZROY
“NoteWorthy,” an exhibition by Melbourne-based visual artist Zo Damage, explores the city’s live music culture through printmaking. Working in collaboration with Melbourne musicians, Damage uses broken and discarded musical equipment as etching tools to create intricate, interweaving marks that reflect the endurance, resilience, and interconnectedness of musicians and their communities.
This exhibition marks the conclusion of Damage’s State Library Victoria Tate Adams Memorial Residency Fellowship at Baldessin Studio. Drawing on the extensive resources of the library and Damage’s longstanding professional and personal relationships within the music industry, the exhibition highlights the resilience and vitality of music culture in the post-pandemic era from the perspectives of the live music creative sectors and community.
