Description
Dame Barbara Hepworth is a revered figure in British art, who has never had a dedicated solo show in Australia.Her abstract sculptures echo the coastal landscape where she lived, and the human body. She wanted viewers to touch her artwork and move around it, and she rejected the pristine art gallery. For Barbara Hepworth: In Equilibrium, Lesley Harding and Kendrah Morgan chat to Daniel about curating 40 of Hepworth’s works for the Heide Museum of Modern Art.My Thing is... auto fiction. In her latest work, filmmaker and visual artist Pilar Mata Dupont attempts to distil and reconcile personal accounts of her family’s memories of 20th-century Argentina and its painful political divisions. Las Hormigas is on at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA).Kieren Karritpul creates larger-than-life paintings, drawings and textiles that explore the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the handmade fish traps and nets made by women in his family. Based at Nauiyu in the Daly River region of the Top End, Kieren speaks to producer Rosa Ellen from his exhibition at Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne.
