Marking a significant commitment to the development of contemporary art, we are proud to announce representation of five early career artists - Guy Grabowsky, Amalia Lindo, Sebastian Temple, Jacqueline Stojanović, and Tim Wagg." - Haydens

Conners Conners 

19 May - 18 June 2022

 

 

I'm very pleased to share the exhibition Ж! opening at Conners Conners on the 19th of May. This solo exhibition comprises thirty works which together represent a visual azbuka (the children’s book for learning the letters of the alphabet). Informed by free association and an attitude reflective of the free wheeling and institution-defiant exhibitions of early conceptual Yugoslav art groups and artists, Ж! presents a culmination of works made between 2016 and 2022 that have been either created by hand, readymade and abstracted from my studio, or displayed from my personal collection.  

All are welcome for the opening celebration from 18hr - 20hr on the 19th of May.

SYMPOSIUM: STARTING AT ZERO

UNSW Galleries

30 April 2022

 

 

Bauhaus artist Anni Albers had an enduring interest in the material limitations of textiles and the possibilities these constraints offered. Encouraging her students to “start at the point of zero”, she advocated for practitioners to rethink the fundamentals of textiles and then test their boundaries—her approaches to materiality continue to influence practitioners today.

This one-day symposium brings together practitioners and thinkers to explore the vast potentials of fibre and textiles as both a material and subject in contemporary practice. The program features a keynote presentation from Antonia Syme AM, Director, Australian Tapestry Workshop, alongside a series of conversations with exhibiting artists, curators, and guest speakers. Discussions consider how contemporary artists draw on the influences of Minimalism through the grid, subvert gendered perceptions around craft, and explore the significance of textiles within material culture.

WEAVING WORKSHOP INCURSION

PLIABLE PLANES: EXPANDED TEXTILES & FIBRE PRACTICES

UNSW Galleries, Sydney

29 April - 17 July 2022

 

 

I'm so thrilled to be showing both solo and collaborative works with John Nixon for the Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices exhibition, which draws together practitioners who reimagine practices in textiles and fibre art. The project takes its title from a 1957 essay by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers that sought to rethink the use of weaving through an architectural lens and interpret textiles as fundamentally structural and endlessly mutable.'

​

The exhibition will open on Friday 29 April, with an all day symposium to follow on Saturday 30 April Symposium: Starting at Zero, and will continue to tour until 2025.

A work from my Grid series will be included in this year's NGV Melbourne Design Week as part of the exhibition Material Culture curated by Marsha Golemac at At the Above on Gertrude Street, Collingwood. I'm so grateful to present my work alongside these artists and designers.

'This exhibition is a dedication to the ongoing evolution of ‘material culture’ – an attempt to expand on conversations surrounding why and how things are made, and what social, functional, or symbolic needs they satisfy. Featuring the work of 16 designers, makers and artists, the exhibition encourages participants and guests alike, to imagine a world where yesterday’s ideologies and tomorrow’s innovation can coexist.'
