This is a free drop-in event.
Bookings are not required, but capacity is limited.
Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Duration: 45 mins including Q&A
This July, we are asking for a second opinion, challenging our curators to present us with an artwork or suite of works that defies our preconceived notions of who an artist is and reshapes our understanding of their practice. Dive into works that challenge us, those that change us, and maybe even some we wish to change.
Join Leanne Santoro, Curator, Sharing the National Collection, and travel through the diverse range of artistic voices housed within Australian Art: Highlights of the collection. Examine some of the National Gallery’s unique catalogue of wartime works and roll up to Margaret Preston’s Molong Show, 1946. Uncover how this depiction of a regional fair challenges our assumptions of the artist’s practice and identity.
