Panel Discussion - Knotty Histories and Entangled Traditions: Art Writing in a ‘Free State’

How do ‘knotty’ histories and entangled cultural traditions inform contemporary art writing? Can we write new meaning into old works of art? Does art writing reveal what pictures conceal? How does truth-telling shape artistic process and art’s interpretations? Come sail with us as we attempt to unravel some of these knotty questions – and canvass a raft of others! Ahoy Speakers: Adelaide Biennial: Free/State artist and April First Fridays curator Sera Waters, artist and writer Ali Gumillya Baker, art historian Michael Newall and moderator Una Rey, Editor of Artlink. Co-presented with Artlink Magazine to mark the launch of Issue 42:1 Art / Write / Read.
