Stuart Ringholt: Kraft

Overview

Stuart Ringholt is an artist that specialises in a few bizarre forms of creation. In addition to his ‘conventional’ work (sculpture, video, collages), Ringholt also enjoys interactive performance art, where the line between artist and audience blurs. His participatory approach to art sets him apart from many artists of his generation. Utilising guided tours of his own work, Ringholt engages his audience in workshops and performances aimed at evoking emotion.

His latest exhibition, Kraft, includes two ambitious works, 'Untitled (Clock)' and 'Club Purple'. Each work reportedly is shown with a selection of recent videos and drawings to provide context. The works were made to hopefully elicit emotional responses such as embarrassment and fear while prodding thoughtfully at insecurities.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the opening night preview of the exhibition at 5pm on Saturday, August 9. Stuart Ringholt will be on hand to conduct one of his famous Anger Workshops. Kraft will be running until September 20. Be sure to check it out while you can.
