You Promised Me, You Said a Lie to Me
Soon-to-be director of Sydney's Artspace Alexie Glass-Kantor curates a rousing international exhibition.
Overview
Art fans may be intrigued by the sound of You Promised Me, You Said a Lie to Me, an international exhibition soon to be opening at Anna Schwartz Sydney. Curated by Melbourne's Alexie Glass-Kantor, the diverse collection of paintings, sculptures and installations takes its title from an eighth-century Irish ballad and echoes its themes of love, loss and impermanence.
Ambitiously showcasing a collection of the hottest, most covetable artworks currently making waves internationally, the exhibition includes the films and video works of Ireland's Jesse Jones, the cross-medium creations of France's Laurent Grasso, 52 individual paintings by Singaporean artist Heman Chong and a new work commissioned specially for the exhibition by Australian artist Susan Jacobs.
Aside from the works themselves, the show should provide an insight into Glass-Kantor’s current take on both the international and Australian scene with implications for those eager to anticipate the tone she will set as the new executive director of Sydney's Artspace come November.
