About the event

As ‘Artist’s Mouth’ enters its final days, join co-curator Lucy Latella in conversation with artists Mitch Cairns, Agatha Gothe-Snape, and NAS Acting Head of Painting Elizabeth Pulie.

Together, they will reflect on Cairns’ artistic practice over the past two decades - from his time as a National Art School student in the early 2000's to his position as a leading figure in contemporary Australian art.

NAS Gallery will be open after hours for this special event, with drinks available for purchase throughout the evening.



About the exhibition

Co-curated by Lucy Latella, NAS Curator, Exhibitions, and Robert Leonard, IMA Director, this is the largest and most comprehensive presentation of Cairns’ work to date. It celebrates his twenty-year artistic career since graduating from the National Art School in 2006 and marks the 20th anniversary of the NAS Gallery.
