UniSA Yungondi Gallery Artist Talk: Roy Ananda

Please join us for an informal artist talk with exhibiting artist Roy Ananda to hear about his work Excerpts from ‘The Pale Dossier’.

When: Friday 14 June 2024, 11am - 12pm

Location: Room Y1-70, Yungondi Building, UniSA City West
Pricing: Free, please RSVP
Featuring: Roy Ananda

This one-hour artist talk will discuss the works in the exhibition and Roy Ananda's artistic practice. 

‘Excerpts from ‘The Pale Dossier’’ comprises selected collages from a larger body of work, previously exhibited at Post Office Projects, Port Adelaide. The work brings thousands of images carefully cut from reference books, textbooks, and instructional manuals into conversation with substrates such as felt, acoustic pinboard, and synthetic vellum. Disinterred from their rational and utilitarian points of origin, these images are subjected to far more idiosyncratic and arcane arrangements. 

Roy Ananda is a visual artist, writer, and educator practicing on Kaurna Country (Tarndanya/Adelaide Plains). His objects, installations, drawings, collages, and texts variously celebrate popular culture, play, process, and the very act of making. Since 2001 he has exhibited prolifically around Australia, holding solo exhibitions at Adelaide Central Gallery (Adelaide), the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (Adelaide), Dianne Tanzer Gallery+ Projects (Melbourne), FELTspace (Adelaide), Gallery 4a (Sydney), Hugo Michell Gallery (Adelaide), Samstag Museum of Art (Adelaide), and West Space (Melbourne).
