I couldn’t say no to the opportunity to talk with Abdul Abdullah & Abdul-Rahman Abdullah for Art Collector’s Pull Focus series. These are two artists whose work I hugely admire and respect but it was their friendship and brotherly love - and their creative relationship - that was the biggest joy to learn more about. Their exhibition Peripheries is on at Moore Contemporary in Perth right now.

Art Collector: Pull Focus interviews for Sydney Contemporary

In the absence of the annual Sydney Contemporary Art Fair at Carriageworks thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, Art Collector magazine has been inviting writers to sit down with artists who are participating in the Fair’s virtual edition to chat about one specific work. I was excited to have the chance to talk with artists Karen Black and Mason Kimber and my (very animated…) conversations with them are below. I don’t think I have a career in television journalism ahead of me (the ratio of thrilling : terrifying too razor thin apart from anything else!) but I will always say yes to the chance to sit down with someone and unpick why and how they do what they do.

Apologies for the lack of subtitles on the films (you can turn on closed captions if you watch them in YouTube.)

SAMAG Talk - Bringing it home: Innovation & Ideas from the Churchill Fellowship

I’ve been invited by the Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group (SAMAG) to join a panel discussion next week, with my fellow Fellows, Morwenna Collett and Patricia Adjei to reflect on our experiences and learnings undertaking Churchill Fellowships. I can’t believe it’s been 12 months now since I got back and so much has happened in that time - it’s going to be interesting to see how all of our findings and recommendations necessarily recalibrate in response. I’m just so grateful I had the opportunity to go last year…

Tickets are available via the link but the whole discussion should be posted to the website soon after.
