Gemma Smith invites a range of Australian painters to discuss the influence of female abstractionists on the development of their work and the work of artists overlooked in the lineages of abstract painting. Speakers include Christine Dean and Liz Pulie, with more to be announced soon.
Developed in conjunction with 'Gemma Smith: Rhythm Sequence'.
'Rhythm Sequence' is the first career survey of Australian artist Gemma Smith. Curated by UNSW Galleries Director José Da Silva, the exhibition traces the development of Smith’s practice since 2003 and its experimentation with the language of painting. It celebrates Smith’s reworking of abstract codes and styles, as well as the testing of colour and form, pictorial depth and formal and improvised gestures.
