EMIT | contemporary art that glows

21 Jul
I am curating an exhibition as part of a wonderful new arts festival, Glow.
 
EMIT – contemporary art that glows.
 
Artists are: Adam Cullen, David Griggs, Howard Arkley, Cara-Ann Simpson, Joan Ross, Yenny Huber, Erica Seccombe, Warren Armstrong and Elvis Richardson.
 
A group of young leaders from the local community will be making works in response to the types of meaning the choice of different materials and images can emit. Facilitated by Yenny Huber, these works by young people, who would usually not be exposed to contemporary art practice due to social or economic circumstances, will sit side by side with some of Australia’s most noted art luminaries.

August 14 – 24, Chapel off Chapel Gallery, Prahran.

 
It’s official: the countdown has begun to the first ever Glow Winter Arts Festival – August 14 – 24.
With 50 events over 11 days in and around Stonnington, there’s something for everyone – from comedy, to cabaret, music, performance, exhibitions and more.

Faking it – making replicas of artworks

Cash Brown at the Stadelijk

Hanging out with three magnificent Schoonhoven works at the Stadelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

Conservators often face complex issues when faced with contemporary artworks. The materials, techniques and rationale behind them can often be better understood through the construction of replicas. While undertaking a recent internship at the Rabo Art Collection with Rabobank Netherlands, I was lucky enough to work with conservator Lydia Beerkens. Together, three small relief works by the artist from the collection were replicated. To find out how and why, follow the link!
