The Exploration of Materiality and Expanding Disciplines @ THE SHED - SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 4-6pm

Saturday 26 June 2021 — 4:00pm

SQ would like to invite you to a panel discussion with our resident artist Perrin Millard. Millard has invited a series of cross-disciplinary artists to the table to frame a discussion around process and materiality from an artist standpoint. There is a diverse lineup of artists speaking who all work across a variety of artistic media such as painting, sculpture, installation, sound, theatre and ceramics. While non-medium specific, this discussion will closely explore how one’s medium can affect the message, and will in turn explore the unique possibilities and power of sculpture.

"I’m interested in a panel discussion that pertains to the expansion or overarching of disciplines, and the broad capacity of medium specificity. This is an interesting concept for me being a painter that expands work into other disciplines, in particular sculpture” - Perrin Millard
