Overview
Traditionally, art has valued the visual over the tactile and hard materials over soft ones. This exhibition, to be held at Gallery Lane Cove, is giving such conventions the old heave-ho.
Curated by Felicity Martin and Paula do Prado, The Charged Object explores artworks whose tangible qualities are just as important as their visual elements. As you wander among pieces made of soft materials and textures just begging to be felt, consider the role of touch — or desire to touch — in the spectator's experience.
Artists on show include Margarita Sampson, Michelle Cawthorn, Yarrenyty Arltere, Brett Alexander, Paulo do Prado, Anne Graham, Nicole Monks and John Brooks. Drop by on opening night — Wednesday, March 9 — for an official launch at 6pm and a panel discussion at 7pm.
