A project across two sites, ‘The Lacrima Chair’ is a new commission being exhibited at SCAF, while at UNSW Galleries ‘Collection+: Shaun Gladwell’, features over 20 works spanning the artist’s career and practice.
‘The Lacrima Chair’ (SCAF Project 24) features a site-specific, immersive installation by Gladwell. The installation will engage the poetics of flight, travel and cultural transmission, specifically French cultural influences within Australia and vice versa. Gallery visitors move through mist screens and may elect to sit, Francis Bacon style, in costume under a shower of water in order to fully experience Gladwell’s new installation.
