Artist Talk: Kaspar Schmidt Mumm with Arlon Hall
Event description
In 2023, artist Kaspar Schmidt Mumm was the recipient of the SALA City of Adelaide Incubator Award for his exhibition ROCKAMORA at Adelaide Contemporary Experimental. Since 2020, the award has celebrated artists exhibiting within the City of Adelaide during the South Australian Living Artists Festival.
ROCKAMORA was the first major gallery exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Kaspar Schmidt Mumm expanding the artist’s fascination with puppetry as a tool for social change. Influenced by his mother’s own art therapy programs in hospitals, aged care and community centres, Schmidt Mumm’s practice is based in a belief in the rehabilitative qualities of art.
Join Kaspar Schmidt Mumm and creative collaborator Arlon Hall for an informal conversation at the City Library as they unpack the process behind ROCKAMORA and key highlights about the project.
Wednesday 3 April, 5:30pm to 6:30pm at Adelaide City Library.
