Bodies in Space/Bodies and Space
Join us for a panel discussion with Shian Law, Claire Lambe and Associate Professor Ricarda Bigolin, moderated by curator Dr Drew Pettifer.
This panel discussion explores the ways in which creative practice can contextualise the distinctions between body and space and between body and Other. Working across fine art, fashion and textiles, performance, and dance, the panellists will share the interdisciplinary methodologies that they employ to consider the spaces in and around the body within their practices. They will also share some insights into how other practitioners within their fields approach these questions.
Where: RMIT Gallery, 344 Swanston St, Melbourne
When: Wednesday 11 May, 5.30-6.30pm
How much: Free. RSVP essential here.
NOTE: This panel discussion was to feature Anne Wallace but due to unforeseen circumstances, the artist will no longer be able to speak at this event. We apologise for any inconvenience.
This event accompanies the exhibition Agent Bodies at RMIT Gallery which questions the various ways that contemporary creative practices engage with themes of human agency, performance, identity, and the body. This event is co-presented by RMIT Culture and CAST OUT LOUD, an initiative of the RMIT CAST research group.
