About this event

Established in 1966 for education and research, Flinders University Museum of Art (FUMA) collections comprise more than 8,000 works today. These span the 15th – 21st centuries and represent various currents in western art history as well as diverse indigenous visual art practices including by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.

Join us for an exclusive alumni tour of our current exhibition, Robyn Stacey: as still as life | A Monash Gallery of Art (MGA) travelling exhibition. This exhibition, curated by MGA Director Anouska Phizacklea, leads audiences into the tantalising world of the still life tradition.

Stacey is one of Australia’s leading photographic artists whose fascination with the still life genre inspired the selection of works for this exhibition. Through the contemporary medium of photography Stacey brings historical collections to life on a monumental scale, interrogating what these collections may have meant for their original owners and interweaving personal historical narratives.

Each tour will be followed by Morning Tea at FUMA.

Bookings are essential as FUMA is continuing to follow Government advice regarding physical distancing and hygiene measures. Please note that a maximum of 25 visitors can be accommodated for the alumni tours on each occasion to ensure a 1.5m minimum distance between people.

Hand sanitizer will be available at the door.
