Skywhales Across Australia: Artist Talk with Patricia Piccinini
March 21 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
Join us for a rare opportunity to hear from one of Australia’s most celebrated contemporary artists, Patricia Piccinini.
For over 25 years Patricia Piccinini has interrogated the complex relationship between our natural and artificial worlds, beginning each creative project with a speculative question, a wondrous ‘What if…?’.
Known internationally for her astonishing hyperrealism, Piccinini’s practice comprises drawing, photography, video, mixed-media painted compositions, large-scale installation, and includes the now iconic hot-air balloon Skywhales sculptures.
Skywhales Across Australia is a National Gallery Touring Event, supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia and the National Collecting Institutions Touring Outreach Program.
Skywhales is the third instalment of The Balnaves Contemporary Series and is a Know My Name project.
