Ben Quilty Live Art

Overview

2011 Archibald Prize-winning artist Ben Quilty will be gracing the Valley’s James Street this Thursday for a live art installation as part of the Art on James initiative. Watch Quilty work his magic on the blank canvas with aerosols – an interesting contrast to his usual thick impasto style. As part of the live art performance, audience members are encouraged to interact with the artist – listen, learn and converse with Quilty while he paints – or you can simply sit back and absorb what’s going on in front of you.

Quilty will be joined by performance curator Alison Kubler for an ‘in conversation’ prior to the live art. And if watching Quilty work makes you hungry, drop in to Press for eco-friendly foods and bevs! It’s going to be a great start to the week-long Art on James event.
