Students are invited to join us for a special program of ‘looking at art’ in EYES ON ART at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery during the university’s common lunch time (1-2pm) on Tuesdays during 2024.
Curator of the exhibition 'Stuffed, Bolstered and Upholstered', Lee Kinsella, will focus upon materiality and texture, as Lee does close readings of Judy Watson's 'fossil', 1992-93, and 'The pioneers', 1990, by LODWICK©AMPBEL.

'Stuffed, Bolstered and Upholstered' Aligning with the theme for the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial IOTA24: ‘Codes in Parallel’, this exhibition investigates systems of power as they are enacted upon bodies.
Utilising a broad definition of fibre and textiles, contemporary makers fuse traditions of old with a modern edge to create pieces that critique power dynamics.
'Stuffed, Bolstered and Upholstered' is a major showing of textile works from CCWA, UWAAC, Berndt with loans and commissions for new works.

Please note: in keeping with the University's guidelines, space is limited for this event and registration is required.
