In Conversation: Madi Whyte & Jordan Smart with curator Amber Smith

Join us online on Thursday 24 March from 6.00PM for a discussion with our current exhibiting gallery artists. 

Platform Arts Curator, Amber Smith will be talking to Jordan Smart and Madi Whyte about their solo exhibitions, 'lightly touched, loosely bound' and 'TOPIA: a sunburnt country'. There will be an in-conversation and question time from the audience. 

Jordan Smart is an emerging artist whose work explores themes and interests in narrative, literature, image and the connection of humans and place while using printmaking processes and drawing. Taking notes from landscape within literature and working with site specific locations around regional Victoria, lightly touched, loosely bound poses the idea of landscape as a protagonist and the connection that one can share with it.

Madi Whyte is an artist from the Western District whose practice encompasses artistic photography, painting, and sculpture- inspired by her connection to surrounding landscapes, metalworking, and the everyday zeitgeist. She’s interested in exploring the language of the line, cut, and fold in her work. TOPIA, A Sunburnt Country proposes the artist as photographer and metalworker, to discover an emblematic and personal correlation between the formal qualities of the rural Australian landscape, and the abstracted spatial compositions of her images and sculptural objects.


Attendance is free and all are welcome. Current exhibitions close 5.00pm, Friday 25 March.
