PRACTICE Audio described tour

The idea that ‘art is for all’, inspired by ArtPOD artist in residence Ruby Chew has informed the underlying premise of this exhibition. Artists working across media including collage, assemblage, painting, printmaking, and video have been chosen for their innovative use of materials, and their unique world perspective.

The processes involved in any form of art creation are often innovative, intuitive, and challenging, and can be as complex and diverse as the viewers’ response to it. The artists exhibiting in PRACTICE are committed to testing their ideas, exploring methods to create works that push the boundaries of what constitutes art and at the same time ask the viewer to consider the ‘act’ or ‘process’ used in its creation.

Through this practice of exploration, repetition and discovery, artists Ruby Chew, Callum Docherty, James Dodd, Lucia Dohrmann, Jackie Saunders, Damien Shen  and Laura Wills  attempt to make sense of the world, discuss issues, and ask us to consider possibilities from new perspectives.

Please note that this is a behind-the-scenes live audio described tour for blind and vision impaired visitors. Tactile elements will also be available to give further insights into artists’ processes of making.

For any booking or access enquiries, please call the Guildhouse office on (08) 8410 1822 or email Heidi Kenyon at programs@guildhouse.org.au.

PRACTICE  is presented at the Adelaide Town Hall as part of ART WORKS Emerging Curator Program and is delivered by Guildhouse in partnership with the City of Adelaide.
