| From the bower: combined collections wall, Art Gallery of Ballarat, August, 2017 |
This coming
Saturday, 12 August, at 2 pm, there will be an artists forum at the Art Gallery of Ballarat focusing on From the bower - patterns
of collecting, the current exhibition comprising collection items and
artworks plucked from the private 'bowers' of Loris Button, Louise Saxton,
Carole Wilson and myself.
Convenor Julie McLaren
will begin by asking if we would use the term ‘obsessive’ to describe our
individual practices; she is also interested in the idea of obsession in terms
of the private collections that fuel our works and which form the backbone of the
show.
The hour-long forum will
take place in the McCain Annexe. Afterwards, the artists will be happy to talk
about our work to individual audience members within the exhibition itself.
We hope you can
join us.
