ARTISTS IN CONVERSATION | LIAM COLGAN & BRENT HARRISON
16 SEPTEMBER 2018 1PM - 3:30PM
FREE

Join artists Liam Colgan and Brent Harrison for an afternoon of conversation.

From 1pm, artist in residence, Liam Colgan will open their studio for a feedback session on their current project: Glamorously Slipping Through Time. Exploring the encounter of bodies via social media and the impact of digital mediation on understandings of queerness, Colgan mines glamorous selfies, intimate nudes and perfectly staged photo-shoots that offer images of queer life as full of sensuality and empowerment. What does it mean to make these images? And how might one better represent the complexity of queer embodiment?

After a short break, at 2:30pm, equipped with a toffee ice cream,  join exhibiting artist Brent Harrison as they unpack their current show in Gallery 3: You Can’t See Rainbows Looking Down. Utilising humour and sarcasm, Harrison explores his indifference to key icons of Australian queerness which cross lines of authentic expression and capitalist appropriation, acceptance and visibility.

Light refreshments will be provided, with the Cool Change bar open for service.
