Join us on Wednesday, May 2nd, at 7pm in the Reliance Theatre, when renowned anthropologist Hugh Brody, author of "Maps and Dreams" and "The Other Side of Eden," will screen his documentary "Inside Australia," about the creation by Antony Gormley, of a major work of public sculpture:

On a vast salt lake surrounded by red earth, renowned British sculptor Antony Gormley embarks on a sculptural installation that awakens a small Goldfields town in remote Western Australia. The installation celebrates Menzies - a community that has taken this journey with an artist willing to break the mould of tradition. It also celebrates an extraordinary place. Antony Gormley describes discovering the Lake: “I’ll never forget that first approach when you come the edge of the salt lake, it is absolutely magic. The feeling of being at the edge of endlessness - being on the lip of the edge of the world.

INSIDE AUSTRALIA, directed by Hugh Brody, is a film that discovers and reveals perhaps the most impressive of all Antony Gormley sculptures - his astonishing attempt to capture the essence of the human body and the traces – minerals, memories, history – that each body carries within it.

This collaboration between Gormley and Brody reaches under the surface of both a complex creative work and an isolated set of communities. It makes a journey through one of the most ambitious art projects of recent times, going from the concept, through scanning, casting, transportation, to installation – all the steps that take an artist from idea to creation. And we hear the response of the people to the work. This is a film that indeed reaches Inside Australia.

There will be a Q&A following the screening.
