Artist Talk: Hear from Lachlan as he discusses his exhibition during an informal artist talk and Q&A session, starting at 6:30pm on Friday 13th February.
Lachlan is a photographer: he explores the environment that surrounds him, through his camera lens. Inspired by history, psychology and sociology, Lachlan’s artistry considers the psychological experience of being in a certain place and time.
“This exhibition will be a continuation of an ongoing body of work considering ideas of space and the psychological effects of architecture, explored through the interiors of various churches around the country.”
The Hidden Wardrobe exhibition is an another avenue for recent RIPE graduates and Arches residents to continue their professional development; through a small-scale window exhibition, lasting approximately six weeks. The exhibition gives artists free rein to curate a solo exhibition: using it as a site to display a new body of work. Artists will develop a proposal and receive curatorial support throughout, as well as technical support from the ‘a space’ team.
