Curating and Artist Run Initiatives
Interested in curating and contemporary arts practice or exhibiting in Artist Run Initiatives?
Please join the Art History and Curatorship Alumni Network Committee (AHCAN) for the second event in its 2019 speaker series. The recipient of AHCAN’s Emerging Curator Program for 2019, Steph Cibich will be in conversation with Cassie Thring, SA Artist and Chair of Floating Goose Studios. This salon event will reflect on Steph’s experience of developing an exhibition for the Floating Goose Gallery, working within an Artist Run Initiative, and how this has propelled her curatorial career. The discussion will explore what is involved in exhibiting in an ARI for curators and artists alike, and will be followed by networking drinks.

Cassie Thring
Cassie Thring is an Adelaide based visual artist working across disciplines with a genuine determination to play with ideas and ways of making.
Her work reflects an interest in the unknown outer edges of life that, albeit often treacherous, are worthy of inquiry. Drawing upon the overwhelming sorrows and riches of life, the artist becomes both maker and explorer. Thring finds herself pushed into uncharted spaces in an earnest search for the meaning in the uncertainty of life’s adventures.
Since graduating from Adelaide Central School of Art in 2015, Thring has exhibited regularly and has been the recipient of a number grants and residencies. She is the Chair and active member of Floating Goose Studios, on Morphett St, Adelaide and passionate advocate for art programs in aged care and community art workshops.
Her work is held private collections in Australia.
