Artbank is opening up its collection racks for a special behind the scenes look. Acquired over 40 years, the collection is the broadest representation of Australian art in Australia. Learn about the artist support program and how the art leasing initiative has ensured sustainability.
Guests will enjoy a tour around the visible storage space by Artbank’s Senior Curator Oliver Watts.
Also hear from the curator of the current window exhibition, The Countess.Report. Elvis Richardson – artist and founding Countess, who will explain how they approached the display as a form of encounter and contestation with the Australian art canon.
The Countess Report (www.countess.report) was formed 2017 in collaboration with Elvis Richardson, Shevaun Wright, Amy Prcevich and Miranda Samuels.
