Featuring: ART WORKS Emerging Curator Ann-Marie Green with exhibiting artists with Will Nolan & Dave Court.
We welcome back ART WORKS 2021 Early Career Curator Ann-Marie Green to host the closing show of her residency, Embedded with a curator and artist talk, speaking with exhibiting artists Will Nolan and Dave Court. This one-hour conversation will unpack the curatorial premise of the exhibition while exploring each artist’s practice, including the ways in which artists work in their studios.
In its most distilled essence, digital art encapsulates an artistic work or practice that uses any form of digital technology as part of its creation or presentation process. Embedded explores the multitude applications of digital processes within contemporary art.
This exhibition features work by Susan Bruce, Ali Gumiliya Baker, Dave Court, Catherine Hewitt, James Holdsworth, Sue Kneebone, Seiichi Kobayashi, Will Nolan, Jesse Price and Min Wong.
Embedded 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.
ART WORKS is a collaborative program of residencies, curatorial mentorship and creative engagements, designed in partnership with the City of Adelaide to provide a city-based platform for artists, curators and writers to pursue new ways of working and engaging with audiences.
