Upcoming exhibition: Drapes of Wrath

I have some new drawings (with a touch of paint) in this *one day only* group show taking place in a living room in Footscray...


hayward la gallery invites you to another exhibition on the subject of domesticity and the private life of the art work. The artists have been invited to contribute works that explore the 21st century rituals and pastime activities of the lounge room, living room or sitting room. Investigating the rooms' purpose and role, the works seek to highlight the shift in domestic rituals and interactions. 

What is the artwork that is displayed, if any, in the contemporary home? How is it valued and perceived? Is there a connection between private means and rituals and the choice of work? Is there a place for contemporary original art in the domestic environment? The exhibition Drapes of Wrath seeks to draw attention to the affordability of contemporary art and the perception of artworks in the home.
