Light Source floor talks

Overview

Join exhibition curators Associate Professor Martyn Jolly and Tony Oates for a curatorial tour of Light Source.

Phenomenological experience of expanded cinema meets the immersive possibilities of light projection. The utopian opportunities opened up by Len Lye's 1935 hand-painted film A Colour Box are taken up with gusto by a multi-generational pool of artists, including Len Lye, Dirk de Bruyn, Mike Leggett, Joan Brassil, Taree Mackenzie, Deirdre Feeney, Ellis D Fogg, Pia van Gelder, Hannah Gason, Ross Manning, Nicci Haynes and Teaching and Learning Cinema. Together, these artists celebrate the role of light, projection and performance in connection to the history and continuity of abstract and expanded cinema.

Light Source runs until 19 October 2025.
