The Artist Talk event will see Sebastian Moody talk to his current exhibition Opinion Fatigue. The audience will have the opportunity to engage with the artist and gain meaningful insight into Moody’s practice and conceptualisation of this latest suit of works. RSVPs are encouraged to attend the event.
Opinion Fatigue marks another turn in the wide-ranging practice of Queensland conceptual artist Sebastian Moody. In this new body of work, he fuses his love of modern painting, language, and meaning. These paintings continue in the tradition of 1960s and ‘70s Australian concrete poetry, which used mechanical and commercial applications of text to expand possibilities for artmaking. Unlike Moody’s previous text works where the meaning of the words is central to the concept, each work problematises our logical understanding of language by moving away from poetry and closer towards abstract expressionism.
Event: 27th August, 1-2pm
