Geelong Gallery Conservation: Alex Kosmas and Jason Smith

Join Jason Smith in conversation with acclaimed sculptor Alex Kosmas as they discuss Brett Whiteley’s bronze sculpture Pelican (1983). For 25 years, Kosmas was a leading bronze casting expert at Meridian Sculpture Foundry in Melbourne, and cast numerous major works by Whiteley, Robert Klippel, and Peter Corlett among others.

Geelong Gallery Conservation was established in 2019 and is committed to organising events that provide access to people and places not always readily accessible to the public. All funds raised from Geelong Gallery Conservation events contribute to the conservation of priority works as nominated by the Gallery.

Drinks included.
