Glasshouse Regional hosts The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s (MCA) ‘string theory: Focus on contemporary Australian art’ a group exhibition. It explores artists’ innovative approaches to fiber and textiles in a contemporary context.
The presentation brings together over 30 Aboriginal artists from across Australia who work with expanded notions of textile and craft-based tradition. ‘String theory’ presents a diverse range of works, which engage with textile artistic traditions including sculpture, photography, painting and video. The exhibition is foregrounded by the work of Yirrkala artist Lipaki Marlaypa whose traditional handmade woven string acts as a conceptual starting point.
