Play the Waiting Game at the Old Lock Up

When was the last time you had time on your hands? Sunshine Coast artists Mieke van den Berg and Mira Chorik play with texture, repetition and mark making within the confined space of the Old Lock Up in Maroochydore. An inquiry into waiting forms the heart of their experimental, durational work. Come waste/spend/kill some time in an interactive event and installation.

Waiting Game
Mieke van den Berg + Mira Chorik
The Old Lock Up, Maroochydore
Sunday 20th September
10am - 2pm


Mieke van den Berg explores cultural separation through sculpture, installation and performance. Through a matrilineal feminist lens, she addresses the themes of displacement, memory and trauma. Her work is conceptual - consisting of layers filled with meaning and metaphors using found objects and materials. Mieke was a Finalist in Lyn McCrea memorial drawing prize 2020 and an excellence award winner of the Local Artist - Local Content Art Prize 2020 at the Caloundra Regional Gallery. In 2019 she was an artist in residence at Draw to Perform, Brighton in the UK. www.artbymieke.com | @mieke_artist
