The Guildhouse Collections Project: The Disquiet
Event description
The Guildhouse Collections Project: The Disquiet
Floor talk by FUMA Collections Curator Nic Brown
The Disquiet is a FUMA exhibition presented in partnership with Guildhouse and supported by Arts South Australia. Featuring Bin Bai, Stephanie Doddridge, Sue Kneebone, Olga Sankey and Truc Truong, curated by Nic Brown.
The Disquiet presents new work by five South Australian artists that reflects on the alternative cultural movements and political activism of the 1970s documented in FUMA’s Political Poster and Print collection. Informed by the agendas, motivations and artistic processes in the historical works, artists explore the relationship of their practices to the complex and urgent issues of the 21st century. New works may speak to ecological, social or cultural concerns to politically agitate, or alternatively, provide meditations on hope for the future. Together, they will offer a contemporary counterpoint to the succeeding FUMA exhibition ‘If you don’t fight … you lose’.
