Disclosure: Beg, Borrow and Steal with Andrew Nicholls

Tue 30 Aug 2022  |  6:00pm — 8:00pm  |  Main Gallery

Disclosure is a quarterly evening of discourse and ideas, a space of ambition and experimentation. From art theory to contemporary identity, Disclosure presenters will share knowledge and experience from their own unique vantage points, challenging us to see the world through a different lens, if only for an evening. Boorloo-based artist and curator Andrew Nicholls takes you on a journey through key themes and ideas that are unpacked with A Gentle Misinterpretation: Australian Artists and Chinoiserie, Nicholls’ most recent curatorial endeavour. Join us for this lecture that will delve into the problematically kitsch appropriation of Asian culture known as Chinoiserie, and a broader discussion of appropriation in art.
