CHARLES GREEN / LYNDELL BROWN feature in 'Art in Conflict' at the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery

ART IN CONFLICT

Lyndell Brown & Charles Green are featured in ART IN CONFLICT, which opens today at the Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Townsville. These images are of last year's display at the Shepparton Art Museum. Be sure to catch this leg of the tour in Townsville!

This is a travelling exhibition organised by the Australian War Memorial. As curator Dr Anthea Gunn writes, "Contemporary artists’ responses to conflict bring to light untold stories, reveal neglected histories and deepen our understanding of Australia’s experience of conflict, both past and present."

Multiple works by Brown and Green are included in this display, highlighting their significant role as researchers in the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project that inspired the exhibition.

JULIE RRAP features in Harper's Bazaar Australia

"[There] is this invisibility around the ageing female body, and it almost sends the message that a post-reproduction body doesn’t have any purpose.”

Early in 2022, Rrap exhibited her new video series DRAWN OUT at ARC ONE for the first time. This significant body of work halted audiences in their tracks:

“I think it’s the first show I’ve done where people, both male and female, were just completely absorbed by watching these videos,” she says. “It was almost like they were hungry to see this footage of an older woman drawing herself naked.”

Visit ARC ONE Gallery today to see this powerful piece in our Viewing Rooms.

JANET LAURENCE presenting at 'Transhemispheric Dialogues' conference

JANET LAURENCE is presenting at the conference 'Transhemispheric Dialogues' at Loughborough University this Friday 17 March.

The conference brings together scholars, artists, curators and activists across four ‘long-clock’ roundtables, to explore the transformative potential of planetary feminisms for decolonial, ecological thinking and creative praxis in many and more-than-human worlds.

Janet will speak alongside Michelle Antoinette (Monash University), Deborah Hart (National Gallery of Australia), Anna Arabindan (Princeton University), Lisa Reihana (visual artist, Aotearoa, New Zealand), and Lize van Robbroeck (University of Stellenbosch).
