Material Messengers UNBUILD panel talk
30 Oct 2023 6.30-8pm

UNBUILD: a site of possibility artists Jessie Brennan, Ian Kiaer and Tanoa Sasraku will be joined by artist and researcher Susan Schuppli to explore ways in which the materials and methodology of a widened field of drawing can evidence rather than represent reality. Contributions to the panel will consider the impermanent, fragile, automatic and auto-destructive capacity of drawing to speak to our contemporary condition. Of what collapse/destruction are we speaking, what might we learn from it, what possibilities can it offer? The agency of materials will be explored – what can we learn from materials and how can we let materials speak for themselves?
