TILIA EUROPAEA (LINDEN TREE)
Perched on the hill at Acland Street overlooking St Kilda Beach, Moritz Michaelis took in the healthy Australian climate of 1870, and set to work. For an industrious German Jewish immigrant and his family, Melbourne was indeed marvellous: ‘you should be very thankful for living in this time, and participating in these wonderful advantages’ (Michaelis 1889).
Curated by Naomi Cass, Tilia Europaea features the work of six contemporary artists reflecting upon the memories of the Michaelis/Hallenstein family who built Linden and resided there for over 80 years.
Tilia Europaea is held in association withThe Bagel Belt - the Jews of Caulfield and St Kilda on show at the Jewish Museum of Australia from 20 June - 30 September.
