Protest and Peter Tyndall

Buxton Contemporary - The University of Melbourne

Join Peter Tyndall and Sam Burke in conversation.

Buxton Contemporary

A series of groundbreaking events held in regional Victoria in the 1970’s, the Mildura Sculpture Triennials left an indelible mark on the Australian contemporary art landscape. Led by curator Tom McCullough, who would use his Mildura Model to later fashion his directorship of the Sydney Biennale, the Triennials were‘a freewheeling consideration of contemporary forms that the state art museums could barely contemplate, let alone accommodate’ Julie EwingtonSam Burke will discuss with Tyndall his participation in the Triennials and their influence on his early career. Uncovering the roots of his protest practice and its continuation to the present day, the conversation will examine works within the exhibition and Tyndall’s central role in the ‘book burning’ fiery demise of one of Australia’s most seminal experimental art events.Buxton Contemporary will be open from 11am with talks commencing at 1.30pm. Protest and Peter Tyndall talk will also be followed by <a href="https://buxtoncontemporary.com/exhibitions/peter-tyndall-exhibition-tour/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Peter Tyndall: Artist Walkthrough</a> commencing at 3pm.
