Talking art—Louise Saxton and Jason Smith

Saturday 30 November to Saturday 30 November 2024

This event is part of Geelong Design Week 2024, an initiative of Geelong UNESCO City of Design and the City of Greater Geelong.

Join us for a dynamic conversation with Geelong Gallery Director and CEO, Jason Smith, and Melbourne-based artist, Louise Saxton, as they discuss her practice and new self-published monograph LOUISE SAXTON cut and pinned. Louise Saxton creates complex assemblages repurposing discarded materials, transforming antique and vintage needlework into contemporary works of art. Saxton’s recently acquired work REST—the sleeping hermaphrodite (2018-21) is displayed in The Sweet Spot—Between Art and Design.

 

Geelong Gallery acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the Gallery and its collections are located, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to all Elders, past, present and emerging.
