The lecture talked about how she started the gallery on her own and how she began supporting new and up coming Australian artists.
However I found it particularly hard to pay attention most of the time, because she put up a 'Powerpoint artwork', by the artist Agatha Gothe-Snape, which was a never ending spiral changing from black to white every 2 seconds, as she spoke. (＠□＠ )
I have enough issues with motion sickness, so that was kind of painful...
On another note, after the lecture we broke off into our tutorial groups, where we discussed out last assignment on writing artist statements and how we can improve on them.
Artist statement
- Should introduce you as an artist
- Communicate your artistic practice and it context to the exhibition
- each statement should be different depending on its context
- It should explain the what, why and how of your artistic practice
- describe and give reasoning for your artwork
- talk about your inspiration and infulences
- what is the intention of your artwork? Personal, scholarly, research, collaboration or part of your degree.
- talk about the materials and mediums and how its relevance
- talk about historical or theoretical framework if relevant
