“Opim Eye” is an exhibition of some of Papua New Guinea’s latest contemporary art. The exhibition will feature artwork by Jeffry and Mairi Feeger, Gazellah Bruder and Laben Sakale John. Jeffry Feeger was the recipient of the inaugural Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust and Pacific Cooperation Foundation Artist Residency in Auckland earlier this year. The phrase ‘Opim eye’ is a combination of PNG pidgin and English and literally means ‘to open your eyes’. The concept behind the exhibition is that art provides a different lens through which we can see the world. The exhibition will run in Port Moresby (ground floor of the Deloitte Tower), from 5 -8 May, 2009. For further details, contact opimeye@gmail.com.
