Artists Gavin Wanganeen and Karl Meyer discuss their collaboration on Star Dreaming in Motion, displayed as part of the FOREVER exhibition, in MOD.’s Foyer gallery Perspectives of Universe.

Where do we belong in the expansiveness of the Universe? How does the concept of the Universe make you feel? Where do you feel a sense of belonging?

Gavin Wanganeen is a former AFL Player, two time Premiership winner, member of the AFL Hall of Fame and Brownlow Medallist. He is now working as an Artist, painting stories that remind him of his Aboriginal heritage. Gavin was born in Mount Gambier, South Australia, and is a descendent of the Kokatha people of the Western Desert in South Australia. The Kokatha people hold the Tjukupa (lore) and have a strong connection to country, the night sky and stories in the stars – a source of inspiration for Gavin’s paintings.

Karl Meyer is Managing Director of Exhibition Studios in Adelaide, one of Australia’s leading specialists in the planning, design and fabrication of interpretive exhibitions for museums, science centres and historic sites. Utilising a multidisciplinary approaching bringing together content, form and function, Karl and the team specialise in projects that blend creative and technical skills.
