ARTIST IN RESIDENCE TALKS | Deborah Prior | Nina Ross and Stephen Palmer

Image icon AIR19 talk 3 copy.jpg
Tuesday, August 6, 2019

Please join 2019 Artists in Residence Deborah Prior and Nina Ross and Stephen Palmer to hear about their artistic practices, as well as their experiences working in the unique studio space of the Australian Tapestry Workshop.

Deborah Prior’s art practice navigates the complexities and pleasures of having and being a body via craft practices including knitting, stitching and embroidery. Using salvaged, stained, and damaged material(s) from the domestic sphere, she crafts soft sculptures, installations, and performances that explore ideas of bodily agency, disgust & desire, and the personal and social histories of domestic work.

Nina Ross and Stephen Palmer are multidisciplinary artists working collaboratively for the ATW 2019 program. Since 2017 the artists have collaborated as part of the art/activist collective Artists’ Committee, which has been concerned centrally with the offshore detention of asylum seekers and refugees, and the conditions under which artists work. Their projects have included creative interventions, open meetings, banner-making workshops, public performances and an interactive database. More broadly the artists’ collaborative work is concerned with collective action towards positive social change, and finds its substance at the crux between culture, money, ethics and parenthood. Their individual practices also share an interest in language and the way in which it shapes our relationship with others.

Time: 6:30pm (refreshments from 6:00pm)
Where: Australian Tapestry Workshop
262 - 266 Park Street
South Melbourne VIC 3205
